  • Anecdotal, so not worthy of an answer, but I have a friend who moved to Asia to pursue a job opportunity that turned out to be not as presented to him, and he eventually settled in Thailand because living there is so cheap, and the people are very pleasant. I think it's probably a potentially attractive destination because of the low cost of living, and the government wants to avoid people who can't contribute from choosing to settle there just because of that aspect.

    Independent of the exact value of the salary figure, defining a 'highly skilled worker' via salary is one of the easiest and most fair definitions. Defining what exactly counts as highly skilled is complicated and messy but the consequence, 'if you are highly skilled, you should be able to command a high salary' is very straight forward. What exactly is a suitable salary cutoff is of course a totally different question. Commented Dec 3, 2019 at 11:40
