Hi and thanks for the add.

Is there a place with a compendium of visa requirements for SE Asia? Current requirements for Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry asks for a comprehensive resource for visa requirements in Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand. Responses indicate that while there are various resources, including embassy websites and specific Thai listings, the information may often be outdated or inconsistent, with frequent updates necessitated by changing regulations.

Not really you can't even trust embassy or government websites they can be years out of date sometimes plus everything is changing daily or even hourly.

Your best bet for each country is their Foreign Ministry website.

What age and nationality are you? That can have some bearing

longer likely but we never had a plan aside from leaving and hopping around till we landed.

Initially a long time back, when we first started planning to do this we were going to travel all around SE Asia. But, given the current situation, I don’t know. We may need to just take it as it comes

Curtis N Christine Quinn. Hopping around SE Asia is likely to be a year or longer away. At your age you could get a student visa or a non-B, which is a work visa. If you've got money to burn, you can get Elite Visa

Still, I'm not too worried. There is always somewhere to go to enjoy some space and I am sure we will find our way.

Yeah, things have certainly changed from when we first started planning.

I *HIGHLY* doubt it. For Thailand, they don't even keep all their visas/ entries information in one place either.

You can find a listing of common visas at:
