Maybe stupid question, but how to get a Laos visa? If you take the bus or airplane, or minivan, where to apply for that Lao visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a Laos visa, travelers can purchase a Visa On Arrival at the border or at the airport upon entry to Laos. The visa costs between $35 and $42, depending on nationality, and can be paid in baht. Alternatively, travelers can apply for an e-visa online, but it is only valid at certain entry points.

Costs between 35US and 42 US depending on nationality (you can pay with baht). They put the visa in your passport and then stamp you into the country. Looks like this

Okay sadly that's NOT a THAI visa question and a rudimentary google would show you that you BUY a Lao VIsa On Arrival at the border you cross into Lao at, or the Airport in Lao you fly in to..
