Cambodia / Thailand: A common visa soon?

Cambodia and Thailand are working together to set up a joint visa scheme to encourage tourism between the two countries. The project also aims to include other Southeast Asian countries, to facilitate tourist travel within this dynamic region of cultural and natural riches.

Thailand is behind this long-running initiative, the aim of which is to to include Cambodia in its "single visa" planincluding 3 other Southeast Asian countries: the Vietnam๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ, THE Laos๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and the Malaisie๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ. The project would enable tourists to obtain a visa or pass for one country, while being able to visit all 5 countries without additional red tape.

The introduction of visa compliance between these 5 ASEAN member countries (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) could also encourage the European Union to propose the abolition of visas for these countries.

A beneficial rapprochement for both kingdoms

The "Two Kingdoms, One Destination"A joint project between Cambodia and Thailand aims to promote the cultural and natural attractions of both countries and increase their appeal to tourists. Thourn Sinanpresident of the Cambodian branch of the Pacific Asia Travel Associationwelcomed the Thai initiative and believes that simplifying visa procedures and promoting multi-destination tours will benefit all participating countries in Southeast Asia.

At present, Cambodia and Thailand have their own electronic visa procedures, available to most Western nationalities. The first country has even imposed a new approach and inaugurated a international airport near the Angkor temple ruins.

Thailand had already launched a campaign to promote another kingdom in 2020: the Bhutan.
