Visa extensions can be processed at immigration offices in Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and Pakse. The fee is approximately US$2 per day of extension, and the process typically takes one to two business days.
If you overstay your visa, you will be charged US$10 for each day overstayed, payable at the immigration checkpoint upon departure. We recommend tracking your visa dates carefully and arranging extensions well before your visa expires to avoid any complications.
