Will the tourist visa exemption reduction be in effect by the end of August?
Supposed be coming at august for a 3 month trip was gonna use the 60+30. Any idea if that tourist visa exemption reduction will be in place by end of august? Bit of a concern i read somewhere its 14 days after royal gazette so just have to survive it 2 weeks without the gazette basically. How imminent is this happening? Is there a release date on gazettes?

There are multiple Royal Gazette entries published every day, sometimes 100s per day. If you're worried about it just get a tourist visa which is not affected by the changes, they only apply to visa exempt entries
