Vietnam Visa for Laos

Laotian citizens can enter Vietnam without a visa for up to 30 days for tourism or business purposes, under a bilateral visa exemption agreement between Laos and Vietnam. However, if you wish to stay longer than 30 days, enter multiple times, or visit Vietnam for other purposes, a valid Vietnam visa is required.

Seniworld provides fast and reliable Vietnam visa services for Laotian travelers who need to extend their stay, re-enter Vietnam, or apply for longer-term visas — with full support, transparent pricing, and optional express processing
