Can Swiss citizens apply for a Laos business visa?

Yes, Swiss citizens can apply for a Laos business visa. A business visa is a type of visa that allows you to enter Laos for the purpose of conducting business.

The visa application requirements for a Swiss citizen are:

  • A valid passport that is valid for at least 6 months after the date of entry into Laos.
  • A recent passport-sized photograph.
  • A blank passport front page
  • The first page of your passport.

The processing time for a business visa for Swiss citizens is typically 1-3 working days. However, if you apply from a nation without an online application system, the processing time may be longer.

You can apply for a Laos business visa at a Lao embassy or consulate in your home country, or at the airport in Vientiane.

Here are some additional tips for applying for a Laos business visa:

  • Make sure your employer's or business sponsor's letter is in English or French.
  • A hotel reservation or a letter from a friend or family member who is hosting you might serve as proof of lodging in Laos.
  • A bank statement or a letter from your company confirming that they will reimburse your expenditures might serve as proof of adequate finances to sustain your stay in Laos.
