I work and live in Bangkok in a Multinational Company since 2018 , but due to covid I was working from my home country for 2 and half years , now I have returned back to Bangkok on a work visa. My plans in December are to visit nearby countries like , Vietnam 🇻🇳 Cambodia 🇰🇭 Malaysia 🇲🇾 or may be Singapore 🇸🇬 my question is how do I obtain a visa for these countries Or I’ll get visa on arrival, if yes ! will they question me as I’ll not be travelling from my home country? I’m a Portuguese passport holder.

Thanks in advance
Answer summary
The user, a Portuguese passport holder living and working in Bangkok, seeks information on obtaining visas for fellow Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore. They are interested in whether they need to apply for visas in advance or if they can obtain visas on arrival, especially since they will be traveling from Thailand rather than their home country.

The country that issues your passport should have a consulate website for each of these places outlining entry requirements.

sorry didn't see that. I'm pretty sure you can get voa for Lao and Cambodia and get an evisa for Vietnam. Singapore I don't think you need a visa. Not sure about Malaysia. But I doubt you'll have any difficulties traveling to any country being a Portuguese passport holder.

I don't think that matters as long as you have your country's passport. Perhaps I'm incorrect though. Which passport do you hold?

You’d probably need to ask this question in Facebook groups of the countries you are intending to travel to. As a pure guess you won’t need a visa for Malaysia or Singapore. Probably pay visa on arrival for Cambodia and would need an evisa for Vietnam. But these are just guesses. I’m not up to speed on the entry requirements for those countries.
