Thailand, Cambodia apply visa waivers to mark 60th anniversary of bilateral ties


SA KAEO, Dec 16 (MCOT online news) – Thailand and Cambodia on Thursday introduced mutual visa exemptions at some border crossings to mark the 60th anniversary of their bilateral relations and will push ahead for a plan to allow daily entry at three border passes, extending from only four days a week currently to seven days.

Sa Kaeo governor Sanit Naksuksri and Banteay Meanchey governor Oung Ouen jointly presided over the ceremony to launch visa-free entry between the two countries at the Thai-Cambodian friendship bridge, the permanent Baan Klong Luek border crossing in Aranyaprathet district in the eastern province of Sa Kaeo as a New Year gift for Thais and Cambodians.

Mr Sanit said Thailand and Cambodia agreed with the mutual visa exemption for Thais and Cambodians holding passports for two-week stays.


The visa waiver, applied from Dec 16, will help promote tourism and mutual trade.

Sa Kaeo is gearing up developing relationships at the local level by extending days and time for three border checkpoints, Tha Phraya, Nong Prue and Baan Khaodin all in the province’s three districts from four days from 9am to 4 pm to everyday from 9am to 5 pm, starting Jan 1, 2011.

The issue will be discussed further at a meeting between officials of the two countries on Dec 20 in Sa Kaeo.
