Do I need a Laos transit visa for Sri Lankan citizens?

If you are traveling through Laos by air and your country of citizenship requires a visa to enter Laos, you will need a transit visa even if your visit is solely for the purpose of passing through and not for stopping or visiting.

A transit visa is necessary for individuals with a brief layover at a Laos airport. This type of visa allows Sri Lanka citizens, instead of remaining at the airport during their layover, to enter the country of Laos.

To apply for a transit visa in Laos, you must provide the following documents:

A current passport
An application form for a visa
A current passport photograph
Proof of future travel
An electronic mail address

When you arrive in Laos, you will need to show your visa to immigration officers.

Here are some additional tips for transiting through Laos:

Make sure you have your visa ready ahead of time.
Check with your airline to determine whether a transit visa is required.
Prepare to present immigration officers with your onward travel papers.
Stay inside the airport's transit zone.
