Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit LA?

Yes, a Brazilian ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Laos. The simplest route is the official Lao eVisa (laoevisa.gov.la), a single-entry tourist visa allowing up to 30 days. A visa on arrival (VOA) is also available at major airports and land borders as an alternative. Brazil is not on the Laos visa-exemption list for ordinary passports (only diplomatic and official passports enjoy a visa waiver). For tourism, Brazilian ordinary passport holders should obtain the official Lao eVisa before travel via the government portal laoevisa.gov.la, or alternatively get a visa on arrival at designated international airports and land borders. The eVisa is single-entry, permits a stay of up to 30 days, is valid for 60 days from approval, and costs around USD 50 (a government fee plus a service fee), with standard processing of about 3 working days. Separately, since 1 September 2025 all travelers must complete the Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF) online for the arrival/departure card and obtain a QR code within 3 days before crossing the border; this is mandatory but is not a visa substitute. Passports must be valid at least 6 months with blank pages.
