Special Tourist Visa program leaves out those from high-risk Covid countries

The new Special Tourist Visa program will omit potential high-spend tourists from high-risk Covid countries from consideration. Each tourist admitted under the STV, can stay up to 90 days with the option to extend the visa 2 times for 90 days thereafter. The programme targets “rich” tourists as they are expected to stay long-term, or over 2 weeks, due to the mandatory quarantine regulations specifying 2 weeks in an alternative state quarantine hotel.
