Entry details
Holders of a Somalia passport get a visa on arrival — no embassy visit needed when visiting Laos. The Somalia passport currently ranks #195 of 199 worldwide, with 33 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
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 relationship isn't symmetric: Somalia travellers get easier access here than Laos citizens get in return (e-visa required).
In the opposite direction, Laos citizens travelling to Somalia face: e-visa required.
