How can my sponsor submit my Laos visa application?

There are two ways for your sponsor to submit your Laos visa application for South Korean citizens:

• Online: On the Global Visa Services website, your sponsor can apply for a Laos e-Visa. They will want your passport details, a current passport photo, and your arrival and departure dates in Laos to do so. Your sponsor will receive an eVisa in PDF format when the application is filed and accepted, which they may print off and send to you. When you arrive in Laos, you must submit this letter to the immigration office to enter the country.
• In-person: Your sponsor can also submit your Laos visa application in person at the Lao embassy or consulate in South Korea. They will require your passport, a current passport photo, a completed visa application form, and a sponsorship letter to do so. The sponsorship letter should clarify that your sponsor is financially liable for your whole stay in Laos.

If your sponsor is completing your visa application in person, they should confirm the particular criteria and papers that are required with the Lao embassy or consulate.

Here are some tips for your sponsor on how to submit your Laos visa application:

• Check that you have all of the necessary documents. This includes your passport, a current passport photo, a filled-out visa application form (if necessary), and a sponsorship letter (if necessary).
• Submit your application as soon as possible. A Laos visa might take several days to process, therefore, it is critical to submit your application as soon as possible.
• Check your application for faults a second time. Any faults in your application may cause your visa to be delayed.
• Maintain contact with your sponsor. Before traveling to Laos, ensure that you are aware of the status of your visa application and that you have received your visa.
