Now that's a fair reason indeed. But there's nothing 'difficult' about leaving on the last day.

@Enrique ****************

why? You can stay until no longer permitted.

@Wannikea ********

that's what you'd expect, yet we keep reading reports from some the the date printed on the flight ticket is what matters. I'm not saying it makes sense. I'll say it does not. But that's what we see, at least sometimes 🤷

@Jan *****************

it confirms my point 🤷

@Jan *****************

alright then, the borders are closed.

Would you mind sharing a source for this?

@Jan *****************

but the point is not that the border is closed. It's open. The problem is the (lack of a) visa.

@Jan *****************

The logic is absent imo. If the land border guys have been told that from now on entries require more scrutiny, that is supposed to apply to air entries as well. If they consider somebody unqualified for a new entry, they must assume that the air border guys ought to land on the same conclusion.

The advice should be: get a proper visa, or don't come.

@Edward *******

how is it a loss for everyone if a country (finally) starts to enforce the logic that visas or visaless entries are only granted if used in accordance with their intended purpose?

@Edward *******

there isn't always an applicable visa indeed, hence why Jay's point can be read as "whilst others do the right thing by obtaining an applicable long stay visa OR otherwise stay out". Many doing that actually.

@Jan *****************

the logic 🥲
