Andorra to Laos visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders need a visa for Laos. The official Lao eVisa is available for Andorra, costs US$50 before bank charges, and allows a 30-day single-entry tourist stay; visa on arrival is also available only at checkpoints that list visa service. The Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa-exemption list dated 22 December 2025 does not include Andorra for ordinary-passport visa exemption, so an Andorran ordinary passport holder should plan to obtain a visa for tourism. The recommended route is the official Lao eVisa at laoevisa.gov.la. The eVisa country list includes Andorra with a 30-day stay, and the official fee calculator API returns US$50.00 for Andorra before bank charges. The eVisa FAQ confirms that the eVisa is for ordinary passports, single entry only, valid for a maximum of 60 days after approval, permits a 30-day stay from arrival, normally processes within 3 working days after a complete paid application, and must be printed and shown at immigration. The official FAQ lists 9 eVisa ports: Wattay, Luang Prabang and Pakse airports; Lao-Thai Friendship Bridges I, II and IV; Boten International Checkpoint; Boten Railway Station; and Khamsavath Railway Station. The Lao Department of Immigration checkpoint API lists 33 checkpoints in total, 14 with visa service and 9 with eVisa service; among the 29 non-airport checkpoints, 18 do not list visa-on-arrival service, so overland travelers should verify the exact crossing or use an eVisa/embassy visa before travel. Separately, the Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF) official notice says the form launched on 1 September 2025 at four international checkpoints - Wattay International Airport, Luang Prabang International Airport, Pakse International Airport and Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge I - and foreign nationals/stateless people using passports at those checkpoints must register before entering or departing Laos. The LDIF is an additional immigration form, not a visa. Laos is in Southeast Asia, not the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 rules and ETIAS do not apply.
