One visa for Thailand & Cambodia

[Coolhand]

Come next April, foreign visitors will be able to visit both Thailand and Cambodia on a single visa, said Vimon Kidchob, director general of Thailand's Department of International Economic Affairs.

During this week's three-day Acmecs summit (Ayawaddy-Chao Phya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy, which involves Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) held in Bangkok, Thai and Cambodian officials will sign a memorandum of understanding on a single tourist visa valid for both countries, Vimon explained.

The visa, which comes as part of regional cooperation aimed at boosting tourism in the region, is expected to be in effect within six months, Vimon said.

She added that details of visa fees and the synchronisation of the two countries' independent databases of blacklisted foreigners had yet to be worked out.
