Lao visa policy for Indian citizens

Indian citizens need a visa to visit Laos, and the most convenient option is the Laos eVisa, which must be obtained before departure. Laos also offers a Visa on Arrival (VOA) option at eligible airports and border crossings. However, applying for the eVisa in advance is recommended to reduce waiting time and avoid delays at immigration.

iVisa offers one entry document for India travelers:

Laos eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa that allows Indian citizens to enter Laos for short-term tourism stays. It must be approved before travel and is typically valid for a single entry, allowing stays of up to 30 days.

General Laos entry requirements for India travelers are:
An India passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
Passport-style photo
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
