Appears that this is true, a wonderful happy island (really !) cashing the money for visa applications (plus the rightly introduced tourism levy) and then delaying them indefinitely under the pretext of Corona . If income from tourism would be needed, applications would still be processed to give some planning certainty for guests who then would happily travel as soon as authorities will allow it.

Schengen states play a similar game, but will start issue visa from 15 June onward for travel as soon as the then rules will allow. A much better approach to keep customers.
