Official guidance Regularly updated

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Lao visa fees vary by visa type and, for many visas, by nationality. The eVisa fee is calculated on the official portal at the time of application and is non-refundable. Visa-on-arrival fees also differ by nationality and include a service fee.

For investor multiple-entry visas, Invest Laos OSS guidance lists 300,000 LAK for 3 months, 600,000 LAK for 6 months and 1,200,000 LAK for 12 months. Older official references set the first work-visa fee at roughly 20-42 USD depending on nationality plus a small service fee. Because several figures come from older notifications or dynamic calculators, confirm current amounts with the official source before paying.
