Passports:
All visitors entering Laos must possess valid passports.
Visas:
Visitors travelling to Laos for the purpose of tourism need a visa, which can be obtained in different ways. An easy way is to book a tour to Laos with an authorised travel agency abroad who has formal contact with one of local tour operators. This agency will provide you with the necessary form, enabling you to apply for the visa at your nearest Lao embassy or consulate (a list of these is provided at the back of this brochure) or you can make contact directly with local tour operators.
If you book a tour to Laos and you are resident of a country that does not have a Laos embassy or in case of urgency, you can obtain the visa upon arrival only at Vattay airport and Mittaphab bridge which both are the International border checkpoint in Vientiane. To do so you will need to meet at least some of the following conditions:
-
Pay a fee
-
Have a return air ticket or a valid visa from a third country.
-
Have a confirmation of hotel in Laos PDR.
-
Certificate of a bank statement or a life insurance.
