What is the current Laos Departure tax and what currencies can it be paid in?
Hi there. How much is the Laos Departure tax now? Can it be paid in baht or dollars? Cheers
Answer summary
The current Laos Departure tax is 40 baht, and it can be paid in baht when leaving by land to Thailand. There was a mention of a 10 USD tax as well, but it appears that for overland travel, the local currency suffices. Some travelers have reported not being charged the tax during their departure.
