[QUOTE=YVR Cockroach;36778480]Looks like the answer is no but any feedback re: getting an e-visa in advance or just VoA? The former looks pretty painless, just a fee of USD 51+ in advance and upload of photo and passport images. The latter requires a form (probably same info as the e-visa), 2 photos (some anecdotal reports say not even required), + USD41-42 in clean U.S. cash. May or may not be any time savings with either (seems it can go either way).

I am used to the e-visa. Easy, quick and save time at the airport.

I'm going to do the same. Here is the official site: https://www.laoevisa.gov.la/index
I'm told they can be quite fussy about the photos you upload so take care to follow the photo instructions. While I won't be in Laos for another two weeks, I'm thinking I better take some photos and cash just in case for a VOA (and I guess I'll eat the eVisa fee). |
For Laos - applied Dec 20 afternoon, Approved Dec 26 - 4 working days.
For Vietnam, applied Jan 5, approved Jan 9 (4 working days) I crossed into Laos by rail, so VOA was not an option. |

Any recent experience? The site states 3 working days; I am up to 6 now. While I won't be in Laos for another two weeks, I'm thinking I better take some photos and cash just in case for a VOA (and I guess I'll eat the eVisa fee). |

And just a tip...given one point in time...
The line for VoA was a bit long yesterday at 2000 hours. I was #3 in line for e-visa immigration. Also, while TG didn't mention this in flight, you must also complete a handwritten arrival card, with flight and lodging details, prior to immigration. FYI... |
I am trying to apply for a visa for next week. They say it needs to be 5 days in advance but the earliest arrival day it lets me choose is 14 days in advance. Anyone know if I choose the earliest date they let me I will be able to use it for an earlier date?

Could it be due to this ? It's a warning appearing on the home page of the website

Applied on Tuesday, approved on Monday, so a bit more than the promised three business days but still within a week.
