Hi !

Anybody got any info about how long I can stay in Laos
what kind of Visa do they give you ?

In case one has to stay out of Thailand after 180 day´s.

Any info ?

Yes Astrid,

You receive a 30 day tourist visa on entry, this can be extended at the tourist police offices, ONLY in Vientiane, at a cost of 2 Dollars US per day up to a max of 90 days, then you must leave the country, and then re-enter, and the process starts again,.

I done this for a period of almost 5 years, with no problems.

Thanks for info !

Any suggestion how to find a good place to stay at,
apartment not to expensive.

Ha ha , Doing a visa run from Lao to Thailand, round the corner and back in again. Sounds familiar. Duty free wont be a bonus ??

Your visa is for 30 days. As Ralph says, this can be extended. How much do you want to spend on accommodation? Apartment style accomodation is expensive. How about a nice guesthouse wtih large rooms and a pool for $30 a night? Try Villa Manoly.

Has anyone here ever heard of a multiple entry visa for Laos?

This would be for someone wanting to cross the border frequently, and not staying in Laos more than about a week at a time.

Thanks

multiple entry visa for Laos?

No such beast. You can get a business visa for about $500 per year if you have a sponsor or a decent fixer.
