Business Visa from Nigeria to Laos
- Nigerians traveling to Laos for business need to apply for a business visa.
- This visa is valid for 30 days.
- You can extend your 30-day visa up to an additional 60 days for a fee of US$2 per day through the Department of Immigration in Vientiane.
- Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required for Nigerians. No other immunizations are required for Laos at this time.
- Though it is unlikely that you will be asked to provide proof, applicants are advised to bring last few bank statements, tax returns or salary slips.
- If you overstay your visa, you’ll have to pay US$10 a day on exit for every day over.
- Adults travelling alone with children should be aware that they may be required to produce documentary evidence of parental responsibility before entering the country.
- It is not usually needed, but you should come along with a veterinary certificate in case it is asked.
- You may need to provide an invitation letter from the Laos company you will be visiting. This letter will also contain their detailed address, accompanied with the date and actual purpose of your trip.
- If you are employed, you will have to present a certificate from your employer stating or allowing your business travel.
- A letter of financial support or your bank statement from the last 6 months is needed. Self employed people will submit proof of business registration.
- You cannot be gainfully employed while you are in the country with this visa.
- It must be made clear whether your trip will be sponsored by the employer or the local company.
- Applicants are advised to ensure their applications are accompanied by all relevant supporting documents before submission.
- Incorrect statements may result in delay or refusal of your visa application, or if not discovered until after visa has been issued, may result in revocation.
