Laos eVisa: More information

Most foreign nationalities need to apply for a Laos visa before traveling.

Some nationalities are exempt from this requirement, depending on the number of days they spend in the country:

For a stay of less than 15 days, nationals of Japan, Luxembourg, Myanmar and Switzerland can travel to the country with their passport only.

For stays of less than 30 days, nationals of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Russia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam may travel to the country with their passport only.

In both cases, these rules will only apply for tourist trips, and you must respect the agreed length of stay in the country.
