SOUTHEAST ASIA'S PASSPORTS

The citizens of the 10 ASEAN countries can travel freely without

a visa to other member states for 30 days (except Cambodia

issues 21 days and Laos charges $30 upon entry. Argh!).

How do ASEAN passports look like?

Malaysia is the first country in the world to issue a Biometric passport in 1998.

Singapore is the only other ASEAN country with a Biometric passport which

they first issued August 2006.

All ASEAN passports are Machine Readable

except the Philippines and Laos.
