Laos Visa Paperwork

[nusder05]

I know this is a small question, but I want to make sure I have every detail correct.

What paperwork will I need when I apply for the visa on arrival at the Loas border? I am from the States, and my fiance is coming also, she is Thai. Is there a website I can download the application beforehand? Also, how much is the cost for each of us? (American dollars for the Laos visa correct?)

Sorry for all the small detail questions, I just want to get everything ready!

For you just the application form and one photo. The fee is 1500 baht or $35 US.

For your fiance if she has a passport a visa is not required she will get a 30 day entry. If no passport she can get a border pass for 30 baht.

I have had no luck finding the form for a visa on arrival online.

And for you, plus $1 if you arrive Laos on a Sunday, the overtime fee.

And II, Thai on a passport enter FREE for their 30-day chop.

And for you, plus $1 if you arrive Laos on a Sunday, the overtime fee (or any day before 8am or after 4 pm). This screwed me a little bit as I changed about 1,200 baht for $35 at the airport, but after a while they accepted the $35 plus 40 baht 'overtime'.
