Visa information for Pakistani nationals

I am from Pakistan and intend to visit Laos on visit/tourism visa. As a Pakistani national can I get the visa on arrival or I have to get the visa before arrival?


Other problem is that if I need the visa before arrival then where I need to apply for the visa as there is no Lao embassy in Pakistan?

 Take a bus to Lao is ok if you already have visa
by: Duangpy

Ali Tabassum,

As long as you already have Lao visa on your passport there won't be a problem to entry Laos by bus. The ticketing staff will first check your passport to see if you have a valid visa before selling you a bus ticket. If it's not ok, they won't sell ticket to you so won't have to go through hassle dealing with immigration.

 Laos visa on PK Passport in KL & BKK
by: Ahmed

I have visited Laos 5 times in last 15 years on Pakistani passport. Visa was available on arrival when I first visited in 2002 and 2006, while later it became compulsory to obtain it beforehand. I have twice obtained my visas in Bangkok and once in KL.

Here is my blog regarding Laos visa on Pakistani passport:

 Don't think so
by: Duangpy

It's a good thought, and it's possible for many countries provided that they have an agreement on that matter.

For the Lao and Chinese governments, as far as I know they don't have an agreement on this matter. The answer is NO it's not yet possible, Chinese embassy can't issue Lao visa.

 Get the visa in Laos' neighbor countries
by: Duangpy

Hi Jawad ud din,
Your question has actually been answered in earlier posts, but I can state it again.

True there is no Lao embassy or consulate in Pakistan, and Pakistan passport holders are not allowed to get visa on arrival. Therefore the only way is to get it in Laos' neighbor countries (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, or China). The most common place travelers get their visa is Thailand.

You should plan your trip to Laos to stop in Thailand and give it at least two days for the visa.

Address of Lao embassy in Bangkok is in the earlier post.

Get there and submit application form, if the visa is granted, they will ask you to pick up your passport the next day, otherwise they will give it back on spot.

There is express service too (same day visa), it cost more of course.

 Address of Lao embassy in Bangkok
by: Duangpy

Here is the address. Do a Google map search on keyword Pracha Uthit, Wang Thonglang for direction.

Address: 502/502/1-3, Soi Sahakarnpramoon, Pracha-Uthit Rd., Wang Thonglang, Bangkok 10310 Thailand.

It's possible to get transit visa because transit visa allows you to stay for 7 days if I remember correctly. Not sure if it better though, but I'm sure it costs the same as 30-day tourist visa and takes the same amount of time to get it.

If time allows, I would suggest you get it in Bangkok so if it's not successful you can have another attempt in Cambodia.

 Pakistani national need to get Lao visa before arrival
by: D.

Warm greeting,

Because Pakistan is among 29 countries that Laos doesn't grant visa on arrival to, you need to get visa before entering Laos.

FYI: here is the mentioned list https://www.laos-guide-999.com/visa-on-arrival.html#noteligble

You can apply for the visa at Lao embassy/consulate nearest to your country. Or if you travel through Thailand or any Laos' neighboring countries you can apply for the visa there. Many tourists who are not eligible for Lao visa on arrival did that and have been successful. Some reported that it is an easy process others had a less convenience experience, but most got want they asked for (the visa).

Here is what they have shared on the forum http://bit.ly/1zx5YaH

Hope this helps.
