ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, my question might not be related to the group but I would be appreciated if anyone could help me for the answer 🙏🏼🥺

My boyfriend who is holding Myanmar passport staying in Malaysia will enter Thailand by air for 14 days free visa.

Then, we plan to take a train to go to Laos by lands and he will depart from Laos to Malaysia by air.

Is he possible to "enter Laos" from Thailand by lands without visa OR visa on arrival?

Or he needs to apply for tourist visa to enter Laos?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Myanmar passport holder must check the specific entry requirements for Laos, as nationality and passport type determine the necessity of a visa. It is advisable to review Laos' visa guidelines for Myanmar citizens, regardless of the entry point, and consider contacting the Laos embassy for accurate visa information.

Review laos guidelines for a Mayamar citizen don't matter where you enter from, it's your nationality and passport that determines your entry and stay
