For foreigner who want to travel in Laos in group or in a person
The tourism e-visa is for tourists interested in visiting Laos to experience the natural beauty and culture of the people. This visa is a single-entry visa that can only be used once. It is valid for 60 days from the day it is approved, so it is best to apply for it at least 3-7 days before your planned date for the trip. Tourists on an e-visa can only stay in the country for 30 days, but this can be extended by up to 30 days or more, depending on your unique circumstances.
It can also be used to visit family or friends in the country or even to spend holidays in any part of the country. Applicants must provide valid information and submit valid documents so as not to run into trouble with the authorities at the arrival Checkpoint or when they are already inside the country.
Here are the designated entry ports for visitors with e-visas.
Lao eVisa can be used to enter 8 international ports:
All visitors entering Lao PDR with approved Lao eVisa are obliged to present the same passport that was used for applying Lao eVisa and was declared at the front-end departed checkpoint or the latest checkpoint to the Lao immigration for inspection process. Failure to comply can lead to entry permission denial.

Laos has a visa policy that influences government policy regarding migration and visitors coming from foreign countries. Most visitors are expected to get visas online or on any of the Laotian foreign missions unless they are nationals of any visa-exempt country. Only visa-exempt visitors are allowed into the country without visas. However, all visitors must have valid passports for at least 6 months.
Laos also has a visa-on-arrival program for selected nationalities who are allowed to stay in the country for 30 days after receiving visas at any of the approved points of entry. These entry points are approved airports such as Pakse, Luang, and Wattay International Airports and the Thai -Lao Friendship Bridge I, II, III, and IV, the Samliemkgam, Daensavan, Tanalaeng, Boten, Vang Tao, and Veunkham border crossings. Visas issued on arrival can be extended twice but not for more than 90 days combined, and this is handled by the immigration authorities in Laos for a fee.
