Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Laos visa requirements

No. Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa for Laos. The simplest route is the official Lao eVisa applied online before travel; a visa on arrival is also available at designated airports and land borders. Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders are not eligible for visa-free entry to Laos and must obtain a tourist visa for a short visit. Two practical channels exist. The recommended option is the official Lao eVisa, applied for online at the government portal laoevisa.gov.la, where "Taiwan, China" is listed as an eligible nationality. The eVisa is single-entry, permits a 30-day stay, is processed within about 3 working days, and must be used within 60 days of issuance (the entry window, not the length of stay). Alternatively, a Visa on Arrival (VOA) is available at major international airports (Wattay/Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse) and certain land borders, also single-entry for up to 30 days. Travelers must carry a passport valid for at least 6 months with two blank pages, a passport photo, and proof of onward travel. The tourist visa can be extended for up to 30 additional days at the Immigration Department in Vientiane. Note that the eVisa can only be used to enter at designated eVisa ports; entry at other ports requires VOA instead. Laos is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
