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.
