How long is the Guest Pass+ valid?

The Guest Pass+ is valid for the duration of the stay, including the arrival and departure days, for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year/accommodation.

How long is a guest liable for tax?

For individuals staying in the same accommodation for more than 30 days in a calendar year, the guest tax is no longer charged from the 31st day onward. Entitlement to the Guest Pass+ also expires when the guest tax obligation ceases.

I booked my accommodation via Airbnb. Do I still receive a Guest Pass+?
