Is the border between Mukdahan and Savannaket currently closed, and is Laos no longer issuing visas on arrival?

> mukdahan and savannaket is closed?

I *think* it's still open if you have a valid tourist visa.

Can you get a tourist visa? I honestly don't know. According to:



they suspended issuing tourist visa. However, they still issue visas for non-tourist purposes only. That's a good thing.

However, it says:

"Visitors will have to submit requisite information on their health and related documents *to the Lao diplomatic missions in the country they are resident* for approval before the intended date of travel. "

I have zero idea what the bolded part means. If you want to go to Laos, try getting a visa at the nearest Lao consulate and see what they say.

> lso, Laos stopped giving out visas on arrival?

Yes, and the eVisas too.
