It doesn't take 30 days due to a bug.

To use the bug, deregister, and re-register without using the words
"I register" or "I become a player", or other action verbs rather, 
re-register by passive language indicating "reasonably clearly and
reasonably unambiguously that e intends to become a player at that
time."

I'd think about doing so as a protest; the difficulty towards casual
player economic participation has been pointed out and so far in
conversations, the designers of the system either aren't seeing the
great urgency to fix it, or think it's a feature.

Of course, there aren't enough shinies to give you a welcome package
now, so it depends on your current holdings.  Another failing of
the system is no one is actually responsible or held accountable
for failing to pay out welcome packages - this system definitely
supports the gerontocracy, much worse than other systems I've seen.

(Not that I think this was the intent, but at this time it should
be clear and as game designers, there should be some urgency in
fixing it).
