Joint travel visa for Thailand and Cambodia

Thailand and Cambodia are poised to introduce a single visa. Speaking at the Mekong region tourism working group meeting in Luang Prabang yesterday, officials from both countries said the visa framework had already been approved and the first single visa applicable for travel to the two countries could be introduced as early July. The only issue still to be resolved relates to fees and how it would be divided between the two countries, they said. (TTG Asia)

If it happens it will screw all the visa runners who go in that direction.

Cross the border and come back on the same visa??

Sorry your visa has expired, you cannot come back in..........

This is just the first step, the ultimate aim is for a single visa to be used to allow "TOURISM" within Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Vietnam and Laos although I suspect this may be "some way in the future", but it is a start.
