1. Overview
Laos is a country in Southeast Asia, known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. If you want to visit Laos, you should check if you need a visa before entering Laos.
2. Laos Visa Application Form
Visitors to Laos must obtain a visa from one of the Laotian diplomatic missions or online unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries or qualify for visa on arrival.
E-visa
Laos introduced a system that allows citizens from all nations the chance to obtain electronic visas instead of standard paper visas. This new system makes both the application process and the entry process a lot easier, since eVisa holders have a separate line when passing through customs. The eVisa application process is very simple and 100% online. Once the visa is accepted, the applicant will receive the eVisa approval letter, which must be printed and shown to the immigration officers upon arrival.
