How much is a Laos LA-B2 (1-year) visa?
Pricing depends on nationality and your situation. New applications from developed countries — Europe, the Americas and East Asia — are USD 640. India and other developing countries are USD 840. New 1-year visas are not currently possible for low-developed-country passports, including Pakistan, Bangladesh and large parts of the Middle East and Africa.
Can I extend or renew my Laos visa?
Yes, if your visa type allows it. Bring your passport and usually the current visa page. Extension prices vary by nationality — for example, Bangladeshi holders of an existing LA-B2 can often do a 3-month extension for USD 190.
I have a LA-B2 — can I get a new 1-year visa?
We cannot currently issue new invitation letters or new 1-year visas for low-developed-country nationals. If you already hold an LA-B2, there are two options: a 3-month extension (USD 190) when your documents qualify, or a renewal if you can provide the business license and stamps of the company that previously issued your LA-B2.
When do you provide invitation letters?
Invitation letters take about 1 week and there is no express option, so tell us your travel plans at least two weeks before you fly. Without the invitation, immigration may only grant a short tourist stay.
How long does processing take?
After you arrive and bring us your passport, standard LA-B2 processing takes about 4 weeks and Express about 2 weeks. A VIP express service is also available; its price depends on how busy the Ministry of Immigration is, so ask us for the current price.
Do I need to leave my passport with you?
For most visa and extension cases, yes — the passport must come to the office for processing.
Can you help with Thai visas from Laos?
Yes. We assist with Thai tourist visas (from about THB 6,000) and Non-O / Non-B visas (from about THB 8,000). You normally need to stay in Laos for the full processing period. Final approval is with the Royal Thai Embassy.
What if my visa can’t be extended?
In many cases we can arrange a legal overstay process at immigration (commonly USD 2.50 per day, subject to review). Do not wait until authorities stop you with an expired stamp — contact us first.
Do you help with company registration, work permits, or driver’s licenses?
Yes. We support Laos company and business registration, stay and work permits, and driver’s license applications. Requirements depend on your stay permit and whether you already hold a license from your home country.
Do you offer family or dependent visas?
Yes. We can handle packages for spouses and children alongside the main applicant.
I’m an agent / hotel / travel company. Do you have partner rates?
Yes. We offer special rates and commissions for hotels, travel agencies, visa agents and relocation partners. Message us to get set up.
