Hello members!

I need to do the border run and considering LAOS and Myanmar.

I know that in Myanmar if you do the visa run only and back at the same day, you don't need to buy visa. Just get a kind of permit for 500baht. However Laos is a little bit closer to my place, but visa costs 35$.

Or maybe something changed?

Anybody know if I want to do the visa run only at the Laos border, do I still need to buy visa and spent 35$?

Thank you in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on whether they need to purchase a visa for a border run to Laos, noting that Myanmar offers a cheaper alternative. Comments indicate that a visa for Laos costs 35 USD (1500 THB) and is necessary for entry, while Myanmar allows a day pass for 500 THB without a visa if returning the same day.

Laos visa is 1500bt. Worth every baht you can stay for 30 days

daypass for Myanmar is 500 Thb, a 30 day visa for Laos is $35 or 1500 Thb. You need to buy one to enter one of these countries.
