Laos eVisa Requirements for Citizens of India

Travelers from India can submit their eVisa requests by accessing an online questionnaire. They will be required to provide the following personal information:

• Name
• Surname
• Date of birth
• Nationality
• Email address
• Phone number
• Arrival date
• Accommodation booking

Indian nationals will then proceed to share some specific passport details such as the following:

• Passport issuing country
• Number
• The expiry date of the passport

Tourists from India visiting Laos with children should remember that all arrivals, regardless of their age, need an eVisa approval before they enter the country. They can fill in their dependents’ forms by using the same payment method and contact details.

The visa policy for Laos details the visa options available to Indian passport holders and the requirements they must meet. The eVisa is ideal for applicants from India visiting Laos for the following reasons:

• Their visit will be for tourism only
• They only require a single entry into the country
• Their stay in the country will not exceed a month

The eVisa, once issued, is valid for 2 months for their entry. Indian tourists have 60 days to reach Laos once they receive their approved eVisa. Failure to do so will mean the eVisa will no longer be valid, and they will require a new electronic visa before their holiday.

Indian passport holders should take into account the Laos electronic visa does not permit them to partake in any form of employment (paid or unpaid). If they are traveling to Laos for a long-term relocation or job-seeking opportunities, they should schedule an appointment at the Laotian embassy in New Delhi for further details

Once Indian citizens obtain the approved eVisa, they have 2 months (60 days) to enter Laos.

There are 3 international airports in Laos that Indians can use to access the country with an eVisa:

• Luang Prabang International Airport
• Pakse International Airport
• Wattay International Airport

Indian travelers entering Laos by car or bus should note the eVisa can be used at specific points at the Boten International Checkpoint and Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge.

Once they reach any of these border crossings, they can head straight to the waiting lines for Indian arrivals holding an eVisa. This saves them time at passport controls, where they will have to submit the following for inspection:

• Passport
• Printout of their eVisa letter
• Proof of accommodation
• Proof of sufficient funds (bank statement will suffice)

Visitors from India should confirm their departure complies with the authorized 30 days on their Laos online visa.

If they encounter any unexpected situation and need to prolong their stay, they can pay a visit to the Immigration Office in Vientiane or official travel agencies and apply for an eVisa extension.
