Argentina to Laos visa requirements
Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Laos. The simplest route for tourism is the official Lao eVisa (USD 50), which grants a single-entry stay of up to 30 days. Visa on Arrival is also available at designated international ports. Argentina is not on the list of countries with visa-free or visa-waiver access to Laos, so an Argentine ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa before or upon entry for tourism. The recommended and most convenient option is the official Lao eVisa, issued by the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs at laoevisa.gov.la. Argentina appears in the eligible-nationality list on the official portal. The eVisa is for tourism only, costs USD 50, processes in about 3 working days, is valid for 60 days from issue, and permits a single entry with a maximum stay of 30 days. Travelers can also obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at designated international airports, major land border crossings, and railway stations, with the same 30-day single-entry terms. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival with at least one blank page. The eVisa can only be used at the limited set of designated international entry ports, so travelers entering at minor crossings should use VOA. As of late 2025-2026, Laos is also rolling out the Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF), a separate arrival declaration that does not replace the visa requirement. Stays can be extended in-country (roughly USD 3 per day) up to a total of about 90 days.
