TLDR : Answer Summary

Your 30-day exemption stamp has been automatically extended to July 31st. No official stamp, documents, or payment is required to validate this extension, despite it not being formalized in the royal gazette.

No, your permission to stay has been automatically extended to July 31st.

Also, even though it "hasn't been posted in the royal gazzel" doesn't mean it's not offical.
