Visa requirements and Covid restrictions

[Thunglom]

anyone been from Thailand to Laos recently.

What is required to enter the country.

Where can you cross into the country - eg. Loei or Savannakhet etc.?

You still can't cross a land border yet, unless you're a Laos citizen. The country hasn't opened to tourists yet. They're talking about opening up some time after New Year with tourists allowed to visit 'green travel zones'.

thanks - I left Thailand with the event of Covid and really need to return in March April. I have to say with omicron this is getting less and less likely.

I've travelled all over Laos so I'd like to be able to travel in both countries to catch up on friends and business.
