From the amber Baltic coast to the vibrant heart of Indochina, the journey for Polish adventurers has
just become remarkably more straightforward. If you've been dreaming of the golden spires of
Vientiane or the hidden waterfalls of the Bolaven Plateau, the days of complex paperwork are over.

Required Document Checklist for the Citizens of Laos
Unlike many Southeast Asian neighbours, Laos has stripped away the requirement for flight itineraries or proof of accommodation. Polish citizens only need to prepare 2 specific digital assets:
- The Passport Scan: A crisp, full-colour image of your data page. Ensure the Machine Readable Zone (the 2 lines of text at the bottom) is not cut off or obscured by glare. Your passport must have at least 6 months of life left.
- The Digital Portrait: A recent photo against a white background. No glasses, no hats, and definitely no "photo-of-a-photo." It must be an original digital file to pass the system's clarity check.
Crucial Note: There are no secret requirements. You do not need invitation letters, bank statements, or insurance documents to complete this specific eVisa process.
The Digital Step-by-Step Process
The application is structured to get you from "start" to "submitted" in one sitting.
Initialise
Register your nationality (Poland) and basic contact info.
Data Entry
Transcribe your passport details. Accuracy is paramount; the name on your visa must be a character-for-character match with your passport.
Selection
Choose your processing tier. If your flight leaves in a few days, the Standard, Rush or Super Rush options prioritise your file in the queue.
Verification
Upload your two files, review the summary, and settle the fee via the secure payment gateway.
Receipt
Keep an eye on your inbox. You will receive an approval letter, which you must print and present to the immigration officer upon arrival.
