TLDR : Answer Summary

Dutch passport holders do need a visa to enter Laos. They can either obtain a visa on arrival or apply for an e-visa online. The consensus from community responses suggests that many travelers find the visa on arrival to be a more convenient option, as e-visa queues can be longer. The cost for both options is around 40-41 US dollars.

Yes, you need a visa. There is an evisa page, but a lot of people do on arrival. No difference in price, so you may as well do it before hand.
