Today, I wanted to get a Laos visa, and guess what? I did it all online! It was way easier than I thought it would be.
First, I went to this website where you can apply for the visa. I filled out a form with my details like name, passport number, and stuff. It felt a bit long, but I managed to get through it.
What I Needed
- A digital photo of myself. I just took a selfie with my phone.
- My passport. I made sure it was valid for at least six months.
After I filled out the form, I uploaded my photo and paid the visa fee with my credit card. The website said it usually takes about three business days to process, so I was like, “Okay, I can wait.”
While I was waiting, I read that this online visa thing is pretty new. It lets you stay in Laos for 30 days, and it’s good for 60 days from when they approve it. That sounded perfect for my trip.
And guess what? Just two days later, I got an email saying my visa was approved! I was so happy that I didn’t have to go to an embassy or wait in long lines. I just printed out the visa and packed my bags. This online visa thing is a game-changer!
Overall, getting a Laos visa online was a breeze. If you’re planning to go there, I definitely recommend doing it this way. It saves so much time and hassle.
