Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Laos
- The Laos tourist visa allows Nigerians to travel to Laos for tourism or family visit.
- The Laos tourist visa is valid for 30 days.
- The 30-day tourist visa can be extended an additional 90 days at a cost of 20,000K per day, but only in major cities such as Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse and Savannakhet.
- A visa does not guarantee entry into Laos; it is at the immigration officers’ discretion to allow entry into the country.
- Applicants are advised to start processing their visa well in advance of their travel — sometimes the processing time could take up to one month.
- Travelers must not overstay their visa. Doing this will attract a heavy fine.
- It costs US$10 for each day overstayed, paid at the immigration checkpoint on departure.
- The tourist visa fee varies depending on the passport of origin, it usually ranges between with US$30 and US$45.
- It's cheaper to pay in US dollars than the local currency. No other foreign currencies are accepted.
- The importation of local currency is not permitted. 2,500 USD or equivalent in foreign currency must be declared.
- If you are traveling with a child, your departure may be facilitated if you have documentary evidence of your relationship, such as the child’s birth certificate, and permission for the child’s travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian not present.
- Customs inspections at ports of entry are lax, as long as you're not bringing in more than a moderate amount of luggage. You're not supposed to enter the country with more than 500 cigarettes or 1L of distilled spirits. All the usual prohibitions on drugs, weapons and pornography apply.
