Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lao PDR: List of countries having reached unilateral and bilateral visa exemption agreement with Laos](https://www.mofa.gov.la/gweb/gweb/backend/web/index.php?r=site/downloadfile&file=_J372876QbPE3GhiLGXCOH/46f49ea89aaddb9e6ad50303373070a4.pdf) - **Current official route — Listed ordinary passports: 30-day visa exemption** (Visa-free) The current MOFA agreement table grants these ordinary passports a 30-day visa-exempt stay. - The current MOFA table identifies a 30-day stay for the listed ordinary passports. It does not establish a work or residence entitlement. - Entry remains subject to travel-document, port, security, immigration inspection, and other Lao legal requirements. Diplomatic, service, public-affairs, temporary, emergency, and special passports are outside this policy. Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lao PDR: List of countries having reached unilateral and bilateral visa exemption agreement with Laos](https://www.mofa.gov.la/gweb/gweb/backend/web/index.php?r=site/downloadfile&file=_J372876QbPE3GhiLGXCOH/46f49ea89aaddb9e6ad50303373070a4.pdf) - **Current official route — Myanmar ordinary passports: 14-day visa exemption** (Visa-free) The current MOFA agreement table grants Myanmar ordinary passports a 14-day visa-exempt stay. - The table specifies 14 days for ordinary passports. It does not create a work, residence, special-document, or admission entitlement. - Normal immigration inspection and lawful-entry conditions remain applicable. Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lao PDR: List of countries having reached unilateral and bilateral visa exemption agreement with Laos](https://www.mofa.gov.la/gweb/gweb/backend/web/index.php?r=site/downloadfile&file=_J372876QbPE3GhiLGXCOH/46f49ea89aaddb9e6ad50303373070a4.pdf) - **Current official route — Luxembourg and Swiss ordinary passports: 15-day visa exemption** (Visa-free) The current MOFA table lists a 15-day unilateral ordinary-passport exemption for Luxembourg and Switzerland. - The table labels these unilateral ordinary-passport exemptions at 15 days. It does not establish employment, residence, special-document, or transit rights. - Admission, security, passport, route, and immigration-inspection requirements still apply. Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lao PDR: List of countries having reached unilateral and bilateral visa exemption agreement with Laos](https://www.mofa.gov.la/gweb/gweb/backend/web/index.php?r=site/downloadfile&file=_J372876QbPE3GhiLGXCOH/46f49ea89aaddb9e6ad50303373070a4.pdf) - **Current official route — Live official selector: listed ordinary passports' tourist eVisa** (eVisa) The current Lao eVisa selector includes these non-exempt ordinary-passport nationalities for the online tourist eVisa route. - The portal blocks selection of its 15 is_except records; they are the older subset of the current MOFA table's ordinary-passport waiver cohort. The three later MOFA waiver codes Belarus, DPR Korea, and Timor-Leste remain visa-free rather than eVisa. - The selector's stay_day field is not used to set waiver terms: for example, its blocked Japan record says 15 while the current MOFA waiver table says 30. The MOFA table controls the exemption policy and duration. - India and Nepal are selector records with watchlist YES. The application code displays a watchlist acknowledgement; neither the endpoint nor the terms publishes a distinct nationality-wide visa outcome, so this policy does not infer one. - Only ordinary passports qualify: temporary, emergency, special, and other passport types do not. The Tourist Visa T-B3 grants 30 days after arrival and the eVisa is valid 60 days after approval; the cited tourist-eVisa material does not establish work, residence, official/diplomatic, border-pass, or transit routes. - Apply online, pay the non-refundable fee, and carry the approval letter. Use only the nine designated eVisa ports; approval does not ensure admission and immigration may refuse for insufficient funds, criminality, prior deportation, prostitution, drug, or terrorist grounds.
