Laos visit

[quiuvo]

I couldn't find any subtopic on Laos. I'm in Thai with a retirement visa and would like to visit Laos. Do I need a visa or just pay 1000 baht or so

Nearly all land borders. Some smaller ones are still exceptions and don't offer VOA on the Lao side. Beung Kan/Paksan is one. Phu Doo is another (though reportedly there is VOA there since Jan 1 but I'd confirm that to make sure).

Some countries are visa exempt for Laos. ASEAN nationals, Russians, South Koreans, Japanese, Swiss, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein. So I wouldn't say "of course u need a visa" this depends on his nationality.
