Read on for everything you need to know about the Laos visa for Indian citizens.

Do Indian Citizens Need a Laos Tourist Visa?

If you are asking yourself “Do Indian citizens need a visa for Laos”, then the answer is yes, you need to obtain a travel pass for entry to the country. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place, as you can apply for a Laos Electronic Visa (eVisa) for Indians directly through the Byevisa website.

The application process is quick and simple, and you can do it online in just a few minutes. Once you submit your application, processing time is 3-7 business days, depending on the processing speed you select. Once you’ve obtained your travel authorisation, you will be allowed to stay in the country for up to 30 days within a 60-day period.

It’s worth bearing in mind that you can only use this eVisa for the purposes of tourism or visiting a relative, not for work or study. If you require a visa for work or study, the Laos embassy should be able to help you with more information.

The e-Visa is valid for a Single Entry into the country, so if you plan to go into and then exit Laos repeatedly, or travel to neighbouring countries Thailand or Vietnam and then return, you’ll need to obtain several eVisas.
