Just two days ago, Mr. Chaiyat, Chairman of the Thai Tourism Association, revealed , because the free visa on arrival policy will expire at the end of October 2019, although there are multiple entry visas (one visa and multiple trips), if foreign tourists sign in to Myanmar, Cambodia , Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and other neighboring countries, they will not be able to return to Thailand.
Therefore, after the free time of electronic visa on arrival, the Thailand Tourism Association plans to launch the ASEAN visa (ASEAN Visa), which is the same nature as the Schengen Visa for European countries. In this way, tourists from all over the world can travel to ASEAN countries by just applying for an ASEAN visa.
According to Mr. Chaiyat, once you hold an ASEAN visa, you can enter any ASEAN country without applying for a new visa. The current top priority of the Thai Tourism Association is to put this matter on the agenda.
Currently, member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) include:
Malaysia, Indonesia , Thailand, Philippines , Singapore, Brunei , Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
If this ASEAN visa program that travels to many countries is really implemented, it must be a "visa with the highest value in Southeast Asia"! can be imagined that Southeast Asia tourism will definitely be even more popular by then! Looking forward to ing~
, but for the Thai official’s frequent toothpaste-squeezing speech... cough cough, I don’t describe too much~ ’s subsequent implementation status, and I still need to wait for the latest official news. The signing will continue to pay attention to the dynamics and update it with everyone in time!
