Do I need a visa for Laos?
Probably yes, unless your passport has an exemption deal. ASEAN rules differ by country—check before you assume “free entry.”
How many days do I get as a tourist?
About 30 days from when you enter. That has been the standard again since early 2025.
What papers should I pack?
Passport with months of life left, a photo, phone copies of your bio page, and LDIF done if your airport/bridge asks for it.
What’s LA-B2 in normal words?
It’s the work visa when a Lao company hires you. Not for holiday hopping. Needs quota paperwork on their side.
What do LA-B2 packages roughly cost?
People see USD 640 (developed), USD 840 (India & developing), renewals near USD 540. New files for low-developed nationalities aren’t a standard offering—ask us.
How fast can you do an invitation letter?
Around five working days if you send everything promptly.
Can I extend without leaving?
Usually twice, adding up toward ~90 days total. We can assist for about USD 90. Please don’t overstay—it’s expensive drama.
Airport or land border—does it matter?
Yes for logistics. Big airports are easy mode. Some land borders won’t take eVisa. Friendship Bridge I is busy and LDIF-aware.
Is the digital form my visa?
Nope. LDIF is the arrival/departure card in digital clothing. You still need the real visa or a valid exemption.
How do I pay you?
We’ll say after we know whether you need tourist help, extension, invitation, or LA-B2. Immigration kip fees are separate at the counter.
What’s your WhatsApp?
+856 20 9999 7573 — send nationality + travel plan.
Where do we meet in Vientiane?
Harmony Hotel. Easy landmark. Same contact details across our sister sites.
I’m only staying a week—what’s simplest?
eVisa ahead of time or VOA if your passport and port allow. Skip LA-B2 paperwork entirely.
Riding the China–Laos railway—any extra tip?
Match your visa to the checkpoint you’ll clear. Crowds are up in 2026; arrive early.
