How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

A six-month valid passport and a prior visa are required, only if you plan to enter the country at one of the border posts where it is not possible to obtain a visa on arrival. More information at Laos tourism.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CARE

Lao authorities require a certificate of yellow fever vaccine from visitors coming from a destination with a risk of transmission. There is a risk of contracting malaria throughout the country except the capital Vientiane. Also avoid mosquito bites to reduce the risk of contracting Dengue fever. 

For more information on traveling health, see the Health Portal of the Ministry of Health and Tropical and Traveler Medicine Clinic. In FitForTravel find country-specific health and disease prevention advice (in English).

TRIP TO LAOS

Fly to Madrid. From Madrid, the Thai Airways flies directly to Vientiane, the capital of Laos with a single stopover in Bangkok. In total, the trip should take around 20 hours and have a minimum price of €1.000.
