Lao electronic visa (E-visa), a system that allows foreigners to apply for visas online prior to arriving in the country, was launched on Tuesday in Lao capital Vientiane.

The launch ceremony took place in the presence of Lao Deputy Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone, Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Saleumxay Kommasith, diplomatic corps and representatives of international organizations based in capital Vientiane.

The move is to create favorable conditions for cooperation and people to people exchange between Laos and other countries and boost the inflow of foreign visitors in the country.

At the initial stage of the project, the E-visa service will be available at two international ports at the official website: https://laoevisa.gov.la, Saleumxay said.
