Lao Visa In Bkk

[bangkokburning]

Been years since I have made a Lao visa in BKK. To spare me the inquisition...I am just the guy who would go and haggle a visa on any border I know the score. Wife and self are xing at Chaing Kong. If it is as dicey as Savan, it will be good to have visa in hand. Finally, comong off bus from BKK and want to make Luang Nam Tha by nightfall if at all possible. Sooooooo

I don't need wasted time and hassles. Ok...

As I recall, the embassy accepts usd and thb. I dont know the spread and if like the borders, usd is best. Comments? Im American, presume vosts to be 32-35usd.

★★ Is there a date of expiry or does this visa start blowing up on date of issuance? So 30 days from stamped date?

Thanks.

According to website they only accept baht. Link to consular page: http://laoembassybkk.com/index.php/consular

If you get the visa from the Lao Consulate in Bangkok you pay in baht. You can pay a little extra for the "express" service which means you get your passport and visa back in a couple of hours, or you have to come back the next day.

Thanks Joe. Ive had a look for a Lao embassy site for years and nothing turned up. Some page in Japanese as I recall. Thanks for that.
