TLDR : Answer Summary

Few more months before approval. Don't expect it, in for a let down when you arrive and get a 30 day stamp

No, "The new visa measures, which are awaiting Cabinet approval, are expected to be a formality, according to Traisulee." Forget all newsletters and info-messages. Wait until it is published by the Royal Gazette.

that’s not the case things need to formally approved by the government before it goes to the Royal Gazette. the royal gazette is just the publication nothing more. Decisions are made before the royal gazette

I guess it will be finally approved and signed by prime minister tomorrow. We’ll just wait feedbacks from people passing through immigration.

@Graham *****

or again, depends on how you look at it.

The status yesterday was "government has decided that by July 15th it will be 60 days, and all formalities will be done on time." It just looks like today we have a new status. Fair enough to point at the possibility of that, but who are we to ASSUME it would change?
