Hey Travelers! ✈️ Wondering how to get your visa when landing in Laos? Here’s what you should know about the Visa on Arrival!
Planning a spontaneous trip to Laos and didn’t have time to apply for a visa in advance? No worries — many travelers can still enter Laos without pre-approval by using the Laos Visa on Arrival option. This process is available at major entry points, making it easy for tourists to get their visa right at the airport.
Once you land at selected international airports or border checkpoints, you can fill out a short visa form, hand over the required documents, pay the fee, and receive your visa within minutes. It’s a convenient option if you’re arriving through approved routes and hold a passport from an eligible country.
📄 What to bring for Visa on Arrival: ✅ A passport valid for at least 6 months ✅ A passport-size photo (recent) ✅ Cash in USD for the visa fee ✅ A completed visa application form (usually given on arrival)
✈️ Tip: Be sure to check which borders and airports support this service — not all entry points offer the Laos Visa on Arrival option.
This method is simple, but make sure you’re fully prepared before landing to avoid delays!
