Just be aware three days consulate closed in May 1 st , 14 th and 29 th

Just remember you need a photocopy of the Laos visa and entry stamp too . It’s the one bit of pre arrival paperwork you can’t do . But your hotel probably can give you a copy when you check in if the night before or get it done in the consulate on arrival

This site good for all things Laos . Printable visa on arrival forms just use the search engine

Because someone sent me a PM about this have copied the link to Tod Daniels excellent write up here

Thanks Tod . Going to turn off comments

This site very useful for all the Laos info you’ll need . Print offable visa on arrival forms , plus friendship bridge crossing procedures



This the consulate website

Sorry to hear the hoops you’re jumping thru . Don’t add to your problems by thinking of using the Phuket ampho . From my experience any where but Phuket . !!

The TM30 card is your registered accommodation either through a home address or a hotel / resort / hostel .

Away from a residential address it is updated by the accommodation where you are staying .

All the TM30 card registration achieves is to complete the circle and allow the authorities to track your location .

So you’ll never hold two cards at the same time and as soon as you theoretically overnight stay away from the TM30 registered location you need to re register when you return .

So if you have a residence in two locations then you would need to be registered at one whenever staying there

Is it important to remain current with the TM30 . Well there was a line in the interview with the Phuket head of immigration that I’ll try and locate but it did sum it up pretty well , even though the office is now backtracking on some of the overnight away requirements.

Of note is that the TM30 card is dated with the date you registered

Relax and enjoy the trip . Not something to stress over .

Ok short quick and to the point . I was confused , will leave this up but shut off comments
