Lots of questions about 60 day visa stamps on arrival. There have been mixed reports today, also depending on nationality and point of entry. The Prime Minister stated earlier he was signing the paperwork today to make it official and that as of 4PM most people were reporting getting the stamp, if they qualified.

However, there are still some reports of confusion or older stamps being issued. As of this second, it has not yet appeared in the Royal Gazette. We suggest those whose trips are critical around these extended stamps to wait until everything is formal and all confusion at various Immigration checkpoints is lifted.

We will have a detailed article on the changes once it is formal and in the Gazette and can be reviewed at length.
