costas Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi, i am greek citizen and presumably i will be shortly neeeding to do the visa run. My question , which might be horribly naive and silly, is: do i need a visa for laos, to do my visa run?, or is it a matter of arriving in vientiane and getting one there? any info will be much appreciated cheers costas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFrankie Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 visa on arrival is fine, you would actually get it the far side of the mek kong river.. I think there cheaper to get in bangkok though, saves messing about when u get there aswell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costas Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 cheers, i think it will be cheaper for me to do it directly there, as i'll be based in Loei ... just was not sure of the lao rules, especially for someone with no brit or American passport.... cheers costas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroll Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 They have slightly different regulations for groups of countries, mostly fees and length of stay, some cannot apply at the border, so check it out beforehand, there is a visa office in Kon Kaen! With Greek passport you should get the same conditions as most western countries, 14 days visa (some say they got 30) at the border at Nong Khai, $30 and 1 small foto or $1, takes 20 minutes max. Don't get pulled in by tuk-tuk drivers and other scammers to use any services of the numerous 'friendly' agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
