Nicaraguan citizens are required to apply for a Laos eVisa before their planned trip.

The eVisa provides clear guidelines for your visit to Laos:
- Stay Duration: You are authorised to stay for up to 30 days.
- Entry Type: The visa is valid for a single entry only.

Selecting the Appropriate eVisa Category
The Lao government offers two eVisa types. You must choose the category that accurately reflects the purpose of your visit:
- Travel eVisa: This is strictly for tourism, sightseeing, and holiday purposes.
- Visit eVisa: This is for non-tourism activities, such as visiting family or attending non-remunerated business meetings.
Application Costs and Processing Options
The total cost of your application is a combination of the official government fee, our dedicated service fee, and the fee for your chosen processing speed. We offer three options: standard, rush, and super rush.
Important Note: For a transparent breakdown of the government fee, service fee, and the costs associated with each processing time option, please refer to our Laos eVisa Fees and Processing Time.
