TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion highlights recent changes to visa application rules effective from March 1st. Comments mention concerns about bookings made before March, inquiries about refunds for COVID-related tests, and advice on applying for the new visa regulations to avoid a mandated fifth-day PCR test.

I would advise people not to apply for the revised TP until after 7th March otherwise you will still incur the 5 day PCR stupidity.
