Do I need to apply for a visa before my border run to Laos or can I get a visa on arrival?
Doing my first border run this month to Laos. Is it visa on arrival or do I have to apply before I go?
Answer summary
For your border run to Laos, you have the option for a visa on arrival (VoA) which can be obtained at the border or airport. Alternatively, you can apply for an eVisa beforehand. However, be aware that not all land borders offer VoA, so it's advisable to check the specific border crossing details.
