Foreign visitors planning a short trip to Laos can complete the entire application process online without visiting an embassy. Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months from the intended arrival date and upload a clear photo along with the passport bio page. After submission and review, an approval letter is issued electronically. Laos eVisa is designed as a single-entry tourist authorization that remains valid for sixty days from the date of issue and allows a maximum stay of thirty days once the holder enters the country. Processing normally takes three working days, provided all information is accurate. The document is accepted at major international airports and selected land border checkpoints, including certain Thai-Lao Friendship Bridges. Travelers should print or save a digital copy of the approval letter and present it together with their passport at immigration. Always confirm current entry points and requirements on the official government portal before travel.
