Can I get a Laos visa on arrival at Vientiane airport?

Yes. Visas on arrival take only a few minutes to process, cost roughly $35, and are accessible to passengers traveling into Vientiane’s Luang Prabang, Pakse, and Wattay airports. Visitors to Laos from Thailand can get visas on arrival at any of the border crossings available to international tourists, as can visitors from Vietnam (Nam Khan, Bo Y, Tay Trang, Cau Treo, and Lao Bao) and China (Mo Han). Payment is only accepted in US dollars, and a passport-sized photo is required. For an additional $1, border inspectors would normally turn a blind eye if you forget the photo. It should be noted that passport holders from some countries, including Pakistan, Turkey, and Zambia, are not eligible for visas on arrival and must request one ahead of time. 

However, we recommend that you should apply for a Laos visa online before traveling to Laos. When applying for a Laos visa for foreign nationals, travelers may expect to receive several perks. To begin, the Laos e-Visa application procedure is quite quick and only takes a few minutes to complete. The nicest thing is that it may be done from the traveler’s own home or business. Second, tourists do not need to go to their local embassy or wait in huge queues to secure a visa.
