Prime Minister Signs Directive 8 re: Tourism Development

The Prime Minister has signed “Directive 8“ (news link) which includes some interesting yet nonspecific proposals:
(Google Translate of last 4 paragraphs in article):

"Consider piloting the issuance of border visas on the basis of on-site personnel approval for international tourists; Report to the Prime Minister in the second quarter of 2024."

"Proposing preferential policies: on exit and conditional entry for a number of traditional and potential international markets with high levels of development, large tourism spending and long stays."

"Expanding the list of unilateral visa exemptions; Pilot visa exemption for short-term periods (from 6 months to 12 months) for tourists from a number of large-scale, high-spending markets."

"Piloting long-term, multiple-entry visas (12 months to 36 months) to attract market segments of high-end tourists and retirees with high spending ability from a number of target markets such as Europe, Northeast Asia, North America, India and some countries in the Middle East."

Sounds as if he wants to give greater priority/preference for long-term visa exemptions to citizens of the wealthiest nations of the world.

Thanks OB for highlighting this directive which is as you say interesting but non specific in its proposals. But it certainly give hope for us long term tourists. Just gotta hope I live long enough to see it to fruition
