ORIGINAL POSTERany information on the visa initiative aimed at simplifying cross-border travel within Southeast Asia?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion around the visa initiative to simplify cross-border travel within Southeast Asia is ongoing but lacks concrete progress. Many commenters express skepticism, citing that such proposals are often made but rarely implemented. Recent discussions with neighboring countries, such as Cambodia, were mentioned, but overall, it reflects a longstanding concept that could take years, if ever, to be realized.

wouldn't really change much of anything. People go to Thailand don't care about going to LaosToni ********

yes, but once tourists realize they can visit multiple countries with a single visa, I think many will be willing to give it a try.Reply to
