The e-Visa Laos is an electronic travel authorization which the Laos government has launched officially in July 2019. Citizens from eligible countries can apply online for their e-Visa Laos.

The Laos e-Visa is valid for a period of 60 days after its approval. The Laos e-Visa must be valid upon arrival to Laos. The visa holder can stay in Laos for up to 30 days. If the traveler leaves and wishes to return he or she is required to apply for a new Laos e-Visa.
When your e-Visa application is approved, an Approval Letter will be sent to your email address that you informed at the time of registration.
Following travel documents are required:
+ A valid passport with a minimum validity of 6 months from the date of arrival.
+ A printed copy of the approved Laos eVisa.
+ Recent passport-style color photo.
+ Additional documents may be required depending on nationality.
Note: Additional documents may be required depending on nationality. Any required additional information may be provided at a later time after the application is submitted. The applicant can provide these documents by accessing the link in their confirmation email, which will take them directly to their application so they can provide the required documents by the Laos government.

No, there will be a special lane for eVisa service at the arrival ports.
Applicants are responsible for the correctness of all information submitted during the application process. You cannot modify anything after submitting the documents.
At the moment, only tourist visa is available to apply online and eVisa is valid for Single Entry only. The other types will be updated soon. You can apply for maximum 5 people per application.
Foreigners are only allowed to stay in the country for 30 days once they cross the border and officially enter Laos.
- Leave Laos before their visa expires and wish to return: Apply for a new visa before entering Laos again as it is a single-entry permit that can only be used once to cross the border.
- Extend their eVisa while in Laos and the visa is still valid: Get in touch with the local immigration authorities. The eVisa holder may be asked to leave the country and apply for a new online visa from abroad.
Several other types of visas can be extended without having to exit Laos. Requirements to extend tourist visas do not differ much from the standard eVisa requirements for entry to Laos: applicants will need to provide their passport and passport-size photos and pay the relevant visa renewal application fees. You will also need to make sure to comply with the requirements relevant to applying for a visa for Laos with a criminal conviction.
By staying longer than the visa allows, the visa holder is openly breaking the terms and conditions of their visa and it is never a good idea. Aside from the penalty fee, this can affect the next time you apply for visa or even when you apply for other countries’ visa as information might be share between nations for safety reasons.
