Visa Policy Watch: Oman has launched a free 14-day tourist visa for citizens of selected countries, effective Aug 3 after amendments published in the Official Gazette; the country hasn’t yet released the eligible-country list. Schengen Mobility: Spain and Finland both reaffirm that visa-free access under standard Schengen rules is limited—Spain says only Mauritius and Seychelles qualify for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180), while Finland grants visa-free entry to about 60 countries/territories, with just two African nations on the list. Tourism & Labour: Andorra’s hotel sector remains exposed to closure risk tied to staff shortages, even as occupancy expectations stay positive; the EU Entry/Exit System is also shaping non-EU recruitment planning. Sports Governance & Money: FIFA’s plan to sell minority stakes in World Cup profits has been abandoned after backlash, but the fallout continues with UEFA-led boycotts of FIFA competitions if the scheme returns. Local Culture: Auvinyà (Sant Julià de Lòria) inaugurated a life-size equestrian Charlemagne sculptural installation, adding to Andorra’s heritage route.
