Two distinct eVisa categories are available for travellers from Panama. You must select the category that accurately reflects the purpose of your visit to Laos.
- Travel eVisa: This category is strictly for those visiting Laos for tourism, holidays, or general sightseeing.
- Visit eVisa: This category is for non-tourism purposes, such as visiting family or attending unpaid business meetings.

Essential Travel Advice
- Passport Validity: Ensure your passport remains valid for a minimum of six months beyond your planned date of arrival in Laos. Your passport must also have at least two blank pages for immigration stamps.
- Processing Time: The standard processing time is typically three working days. Any errors or missing information will cause delays or may lead to the application being rejected.
- Overstaying: Exceeding the authorised stay period is a serious violation of immigration law and will result in fines or restrictions on future travel.
