Entry details

Laos is notably open to foreign passports, admitting 170 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #174 with 48 open destinations. The arrangement is reciprocal — Laos citizens face the same visa on arrival requirement in the other direction.
In the opposite direction, Laos citizens travelling to Cape Verde face: visa on arrival.
