Is Laos still issuing Visas on Arrival at Savannakhet and other borders?
Hearing on YouTube Laos no longer issuing VOA’s at certain borders, including Savannakhet. Any confirmation? Not strictly a Thai Visa question, but of concern to members for obvious reasons.
Answer summary
There are reports that Laos has ceased issuing Visas on Arrival (VOAs) at specific borders, particularly Savannakhet Airport. However, the situation may vary based on nationality. Currently, the Friendship Bridge 2 border remains operational for VOAs. Travelers should verify entry points and regulations based on their travel plans.

Tod is right, in view of Savannakhet is is the Airport that does not issue VOA to Laos. The border at the Friendship Bridge 2 is oprerating as usual and are happy to issue a Laos Visa on Arrival. .

The ONLY entry point that would affect anyone would be the Savannakhet Airport no longer issuing VOA's when you fly in.
Other than that I doubt most people could find the borders that are stopping VOA's entering Lao. One is in Loei and one is in Nan.
