ASEAN Single Visa Still Waiting for Approval from Cambodia and Myanmar

Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said that the establishment of an ASEAN single visa is still awaiting the approval from the Cambodian and Myanmar governments. However, the minister is optimistic that the ASEAN single visa policy can be completed this year.

“I believe last year the heads of state have made a commitment to complete [the policy] this year,” said Mari at the 2012 ASEAN Tourism Forum on Wednesday.

The idea for ASEAN single visa emerged as an effort to make ASEAN as a single destination. “This means that there will be no visa required for ASEAN member countries. We are also preparing for ASEAN Common Visa,” said the minister.
