Visa Destinations and Trip.com partner to offer perks for nomads in Asia Pacific

A new anchor partner for Visa Destinations

Visa and Trip.com Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding in mid-May to fold Visa Destinations into the Trip.com booking flow across Asia Pacific, the two companies said. Trip.com Group becomes a global Anchor Partner for the program, which Visa describes as its experience-led travel platform.

The integration is meant to surface personalized recommendations, card-linked offers and curated experiences while travelers book flights, hotels and activities. Visa also said Visa Infinite cardholders will get exclusive Trip.com offers, with deeper tie-ins planned for fast-growing regional segments. No consumer-facing launch date has been published.

Who stands to benefit

The stated target is Asia Pacific consumers broadly, not a single nationality or visa class. In practice, the perks land with frequent bookers on Trip.com who pay with eligible Visa cards, a group that includes tourists, expats and digital nomads moving between hubs like Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Visa Destinations is still rolling out regionally. It launched first in Thailand, with Singapore slated to come online during 2026. That phased footprint means offer availability will depend on where a traveler is booking from and which card they hold.

What nomads can do now

There's nothing to apply for. The collaboration is commercial, not immigration-related, so no government filings or visa changes are tied to it. Eligibility rules, fees and booking mechanics for the integrated benefits haven't been published.

A few practical notes for remote workers planning Asia Pacific trips:

• Check card tier. Visa Infinite holders are first in line for exclusive Trip.com offers.
• Watch for older promos. A separate Trip.com Visa promo page lists prior conditions, including USD-only payments and limited promo codes, but that campaign ends March 31, 2026 and isn't the new partnership.
• Track related rollouts. Visa and Trip.com began a virtual travel card program earlier in 2026, starting in Singapore with planned expansion to Hong Kong and the Netherlands.

Together the moves point to tighter coupling of payments, bookings and cardholder perks in the region, though the specifics travelers can actually redeem remain thin until Visa and Trip.com publish launch details.
