Laos visa and cash
Can you get a visa on arrival at Vientiane airport ? I remember in 2000
I got a visa at the Friendship bridge. Also, how is the cash situation now ? Do they have ATMs in Laos? If not, is it advisable to bring Thai Baht (in 100 Baht bills) ? -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - 6500 photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

Laos visa and cash
From the state department consular information sheet The Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that visas are issued upon arrival in Laos to foreign tourists and business persons with two passport size photographs and $30 at all international entry points: Wattay Airport, Vientiane; Friendship Bridge, Vientiane, and Luang Prabang Airport, Boten-Bohan, Huaixay, Khammouane-Nakhonphanom, Sayannahket-Mukdahan, Vangtao-Chong Mek, Pakse Airport, Daensayanh-Laobao, Namphao-Kaopae, and Namkan. Foreign tourists are generally admitted to Laos for 15 days with a visa issued upon arrival or for 30 days with a visa issued at a Lao Embassy. The Department of Immigration in Vientiane will extend 15-day tourist visas for up to 15 days and one-month visas for up to one month for a fee of $2 per day of extension. An additional 15-day extension can sometimes be obtained through a tour agency. Foreigners who overstay their visas in Laos risk arrest and upon departure will be fined $10 for each day of overstay.
