Singapore to Laos visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can visit Laos visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, under the ASEAN visa-exemption arrangement. No visa or fee is required. You must, however, submit the free Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF) online at least 3 days before arrival at the four covered international checkpoints. Singapore is a member of ASEAN, and Laos grants visa-free entry to ordinary-passport holders of all ASEAN member states for stays of up to 30 days for tourism or business. This is confirmed by the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Lao official immigration portal, and the Lao visa policy. No visa application or fee is needed for short tourist visits. Travelers should hold a passport valid for at least 6 months with at least two blank pages and carry proof of onward travel. Since 1 September 2025, all non-Lao nationals must complete the free Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF) online at immigration.gov.la within three days before arriving at or departing from the four covered crossings (Wattay/Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Pakse international airports, and the Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge I), receiving a QR code to present at the border. This form is an immigration formality, not a visa, and does not change the visa-free status. Stays beyond 30 days require an eVisa or visa on arrival (around USD 30-50) or extension. Laos is in Southeast Asia and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
