TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about traveling from Thailand to Laos and options for obtaining a visa, specifically whether to use an e-visa or visa on arrival, and requested recommendations for reliable services. Respondents clarified that visa on arrival must be obtained in person upon entering Laos, and questioned the need for agents to process these visas, given the straightforward nature of the applications.

It’s been a couple of years since I was there. When you go through Immigration you can buy a Visa . I was told in advance to bring American dollars as that’s what they accepted. When I stood in line all prices were in Dollars and that’s what everybody ahead of me was using. This was Luang Prabang. Different nationalities paid different prices.

Assuming you mean Visa On Arrival for LAOS. You just do this at the border as you enter Laos. Can't recall the cost, but it's not expensive. An agent can't physically enter Laos on your behalf. It has to be you. I know some people believe agents can do anything, but reality is somewhat different!

it's 30 USD plus some xtra money made by Xchange rate if you pay with THB.

How would someone do visa on arrival for you? You have to arrive to do it.

And why would you use an agent to apply for an e-visa? They are just going to say "send me these documents" and then upload them to the application, just like you could have done. Except they are going to charge you for it.
