When departing from Laos by air, you should not encounter a separate departure tax payment at the airport, as these fees have been incorporated into ticket prices. However, some domestic flights may carry a small airport fee, typically around 10,000 to 20,000 LAK.
If you are exiting Laos by land, border crossing fees are minimal and are collected at the checkpoint. Keep some small US dollar bills or Thai baht available for these transactions.
