Visa to Laos
To apply for a visa to Laos, you will need to submit an application to the nearest Lao embassy or consulate. You will need to provide a passport with at least six months of validity remaining, a completed visa application form, and a passport-sized photo. In addition, you will need to pay the visa fee, which varies depending on your nationality and the length of your stay in Laos.
It is important to note that the visa application process can vary depending on your nationality and the country from which you are applying. It is therefore recommended that you consult with the nearest Lao embassy or consulate for specific information regarding visa requirements and application procedures.
Citizens of Japan, The Republic of Korea, Russia, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and ASEAN member countries (with valid passports) are exempted from Lao visa. The citizens of these countries can enter Laos and stay for 15-30 days without a visa. For longer stay, a visa is required.
