What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?
The current official Yacht Person detail page publishes a permitted stay of three months per entry, visa validity of one year and multiple entries. It allows an extension to be requested according to individual circumstances. However, the same page also says that each entry requires a separate visa application; this internal contradiction is not resolved by assuming that either statement overrides the other. The older visiting overview instead describes a maximum stay of 180 days and separately states 60 days, single entry and no extension. Those older 60/180-day statements are not attributed to the current detail page.

Limits of the record- The current page’s multiple-entry wording conflicts with its separate-application-per-entry note; operational entry count and whether reapplication is needed remain unresolved. The older overview’s 60/180-day and no-extension wording conflicts with the current detail. No definitive extension duration or rolling-period limit is established.
