Please note that visas for Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. For the most up to date information please check your Governments Foreign Ministry website or with your travel agent as rules do change. It is important that you check for yourself. For most travellers there will probably be an Embassy or Consulate in the country that you live in.

THAILAND - Most nationalities do not need a visa for Thailand for stays of 30 days or less but if you do they are available on arrival at Bangkok Airport.

CAMBODIA - Visas can be obtained in advance from your local embassy or on arrival in Bangkok. You will need at least one full working day to arrange this. You can also obtain your visa at the Cambodian border for approx. $35 USD very easily. Please bring lots of passport photos with you.

VIETNAM - Visas for Vietnam need to be arranged ahead of time (before your trip starts) as the processing time varies and visas are not available at the borders. You will be entering Vietnam on day 8 of your trip. Please ensure your visa 'valid from date' is on or before this date. Please note that an E-visa can not be processed when entering Vietnam at a land border as we do on this trip. Please organize a regular passport visa prior to the trip.

Please be aware that you will require 2 clean pages (minimum) in your passport and at least 6 months validity.
