Answer summary
The cost of a Lao Visa on Arrival for UK passport holders appears to be around $40, with some reports indicating it could be $41 if a photograph is needed. There have also been mentions of different prices such as $35 at a land crossing. Therefore, travelers should be prepared with US dollars and may need to adjust the amount slightly based on the specific situation at the airport.

A side note, visa on arrival you lose a whole page of passport with a big visa sticker, e-visa you just receive a small stamp

it's USD $40.- for all nationalities for a Lao Visa on Arrival, except for China.... oftentimes, if you don't have a photo then add $1 to be USD $41.- make sure the bankrotes, are clean and crisp (new)....

@Nick ******
also , the VOA is a full page in your passport , e visa a small sticker I would highly recommend the e visa , as it saves heaps of time lining up when you arrive. Depending on the time of the day there can be 50 people lining up for visa on arrival. But e visa has 1 or 2 dedicated lines in Vientiane it’s pretty quick ( we’ll worth the 12$)Nick *******
OP@Jef *******
I’m going in 2 days, possibly may not get it back in time. Appreciate your input for next time.
