Thailand has recently proposed a Schengen style visa system in Southeast Asia, representing a significant shift in the region's approach to toursim. This aims to simplify travel across Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam offering an unified visa. The proposal is designed to replicate the seamless travel experience in Schengen Area, which has been highly successful in facilitating travel and boosting economic ties. The initiative could make the region more accessible to long haul travellers, particularly those interested in wellness tourism. For Indians, this has limited impact given we already enjoy significant travel privileges in these countries, including visa exemptions, visa-on-arrival and e-visa options.    Though this does raise concerns with regards to potential overtourism, an already growing issue in popular destinations.
