Basically they build a "pattern of tourism" on their passports, go to a bunch of random countries, and leave. Then they attempt to enter a desirable western country (USA, Canada, whatever) as a "tourist" and then never leave. It's a ploy to trick the consulate into issuing them a visa, because they have a history of being tourists, they're less likely to simply just overstay their visa as a parasite, or so that was the thinking before jeets scammed it.
Isn't it more efficient to go to countries with lighter visa restrictions though? Japan and south east asia is right there. And a Schengen visa + a flight to Europe ain't exactly cheap. Or they planned to overstay the visa in Germany since the Icelandic visa does usually allow access in the entire EU(minus Ireland)

if they are a wealthy caste, their government pays for them to travel overseas too
