LuukKoeyKorat Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi Quick question - can you get a visa-on-arrival at Luang Prabang airport? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I bought one there on arrival (I'm American). Not sure which nationalities can, and which can't, but I would guess all westerners can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuukKoeyKorat Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply! I'm German, I guess all western nationalities are eligible. I've traveled through Luang Prabang airport several times too... have always had a visa beforehand, and have to admit I have never seen a visa desk anywhere there. Was it in the arrivals hall or the (one) big terminal room? Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hmmm. It's been some years since I've been there but I recall seeing the visa queue directly after entering the building from the plane. Maybe someone else can give a recent report, plus the current PRICE. wiki Visa-on-Arrival is available at the airport - price is variable based upon your nationality. You need a passport picture to obtain a visa. If you don't have one, they'll scan your picture from your passport and charge you an additional $US1.

Sydebolle Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Visa on arrival is possible; the fee various from country to country, between USD 30 and USD 43. Exemption is granted to passport holders from Luxembourg and Switzerland; these two nationalities can enter the Lao PDR without a visa for a timeframe of 14 days (arrival and departure day included). The scanning of picture is USD 1 and if you arrive on a weekend it is another USD 1. And should you arrive on February 29th (as I did seven years ago) then there is another USD 1 for "special day".

anotheruser Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Germans should be $30 although I am not at the border right now. Most EU countries are $30. Bring a picture if you have one. If not don't sweatb it as they charge $1 fee for not supplying one which is possibly cheaper than getting one taken. Pay everything in USD if possible anything else they rip you on the rate. For example $1 for picture becomes 50 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
