How to apply for a Laos visa?

1. No matter how you apply for a Laos visa, whether you apply by entrustment or by yourself, you generally need to go through the following procedures:

(1) Submit a passport valid for half a year.

(2) Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms, most of which should be filled in foreign languages and photos should be submitted at the same time.

(3) Meeting with embassies and consulates in China officials. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also require interviews to apply for non-immigrant visas.

(4) The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application form and necessary supporting materials to the domestic competent authorities for examination and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report to China for the record.

(7) After necessary examination and approval by the national competent department, inform embassies and consulates in China of the examination and approval opinions. If you agree, a visa will be issued. If you refuse, you will also inform the applicant.
