Häufig gestellte Fragen

Do I need a visa for every country in Southeast Asia?+
Not for every country. Many Southeast Asian nations offer visa-free entry for 15-90 days to most passport holders. However, you will need a pre-applied eVisa for some nationalities visiting Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Singapore requires an Arrival Card but most nationalities enter visa-free.
Can I visit multiple Southeast Asian countries on one trip without applying for multiple visas?+
Yes. Most Southeast Asian countries can be visited visa-free or with separate eVisas. There is no single regional visa like the Schengen. You apply (or not) for each country individually. Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore are often part of multi-country routes and all offer very easy entry for most nationalities.
What is the difference between the Thailand eVOA and the standard Thai visa?+
The Thailand e-Visa on Arrival is specifically for nationalities that normally require a visa to enter Thailand. It allows you to pre-apply online to skip the VOA queue. Most nationalities can enter Thailand visa-free for 30-60 days and don't need any pre-application at all.
