ASEAN Multi-Country Tourist Visa Continues to be Discussed
Phnom Penh: Five ASEAN nations (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand) will be meeting again on July 28 and 29 to further discuss the planned single "passport" (visa) that will allow tourists to visit multiple ASEAN countries on the same visa document without the need to apply for a different visa for each country separately.
The first step will be to offer a visa for both Thailand and Cambodia, then add other ASEAN counties later.

They launched a dual Thai-Cambodian visa a few years back... nobody got them. You still had to pay on arrival in Cambodia and it only allowed for single-entry into each country (not much use for people entering Cambodia with the intent to go back to Thailand and fly home). And the Vietnamese visa department would have a meltdown if they thought about lost fees... their prices keep going up not down for visas.

Agree with Richard, stumbling block will be loss of income for immigration officials, can't see them being happy about that.

From the first of this month citizens of several countries have started enjoying Visa free entry into Vietnam Britain being one of them.

You're talking about selected-nations free, I think he's referring to everyone free. Huge difference, with 200 nations on the planet.

Re: ASEAN Multi-Country Tourist Visa Continues to be Discuss
I would differ with your statement. VN hasn't extended the visa waiver to some very worthy countries like the US, Canada, Australia and NZ and other Euro nations probably because there would be a huge loss to immigration and all the third-party "visa approval" services, thereby heading off a "meltdown". But VN is going to have to do something drastic soon because, for whatever reasons, tourist arrivals in VN have plunged for 11 straight months. My theory about tourist disinterest is the Viet visa is the most expensive, most painful to obtain (at understaffed VoA section at the airports) and riskiest entry visa (via third party agents with no guarantee) to obtain in SEA.obelisks wrote:What you say about the Vietnamese is incorrect.TheGrinchSR wrote:They launched a dual Thai-Cambodian visa a few years back... nobody got them.

I'd be keen to see how many tourists revisit Vietnam after their first trip. I enjoyed it but can't see myself going back unless it's for a riding tour.

Re: ASEAN Multi-Country Tourist Visa Continues to be Discuss
No, what I say is entirely correct. The price of a visa went up. A 15 day visa-free pass is not the same as a 30-day (or more) visa. And... initial news out of Vietnam reports that tourists are still being charged for visas if they can get away with it rather than being told they can enter on a waiver program.obelisks wrote:What you say about the Vietnamese is incorrect.TheGrinchSR wrote:They launched a dual Thai-Cambodian visa a few years back... nobody got them.
