KHUNUDOM Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 When making visa run to Savannakhet, Laos where can one obtain the visa to enter Laos? Mukdahan? Doesn't an American passport holder need to have a visa to enter Laos before crossing the river either at Mukdahan or Nong Kai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeny Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 you can get the visa in Savannakhet for Bt1,500, actually its quite easy just fill up some form and 1 picture. after you get off from the ferry go inside the immigration then look for the booth, quite easy because its not a big place.

Do I understand that you get the Lao visa after arriving Lao side, not before starting across the river? Udom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarn Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 What about crossing by car via Nong Khai? Is it possible now? I'd like to drive my own car to Vientianne... What kind of documents do I need to present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of documents do I need to present? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Passport should be enough but have car reg and DL ready. BTW, if you pay US$ for your visa its $30 (1200 baht). If you want to pay in baht it suddenly becomes 1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
