Do Laos citizens need a visa for South Korea?
Yes, Laos citizens need a visa to visit South Korea for both tourism and business purposes. Visa requirements must be met before traveling.
Laos citizens: South Korea visa required?
Okay, so, do Lao citizens need a visa for South Korea? Yeah, uh, a visa is needed. Bummer, right? Found that out when planning a trip once, a while back.
Visa Required.
Thought maybe I could just hop over there for a visit. Nope.
Tourist/Business visas needed. This is a real headache.
I guess it makes sense, you know, gotta have all your ducks in a row.
Detailed info? Gotta check the Korean embassy website in Vientiane. Bet it’s a whole thing…documents, application forms, proof of funds, the works. Cost me like $50, plus the stress, way back in ’18 when I went for a conference, ugh.
Do Laos need a visa to Korea?
Ugh, Laos passport. Six months validity, right? That’s the rule, I think. Definitely need that. Korea visa stuff is a pain. Remember that time I had to get a visa for Thailand? Total nightmare.
Onward ticket? Duh, of course. They want to see you’re not planning to overstay. Smart, actually.
South Korea visa requirements:
- Valid passport (minimum 6 months beyond your stay)
- Proof of onward travel – flight or bus ticket. Don’t forget this! Cost me a fortune for a flight change last year.
So, yes, Laotian passport holders need a visa. I’m sure of it. Unless things changed overnight, which they sometimes do! But I highly doubt it. Gotta check the official website though. Seriously, always check the website. I learned that the hard way.
My friend went last month, he got his visa super quickly. Maybe it depends on the consulate. Or maybe he just had a way better application. What a show off. Always been so lucky. It’s so annoying.
Check the South Korean embassy website for the most up-to-date information. Seriously, don’t rely on me. I’m just rambling.
Do I need a visa to enter South Korea?
Okay, so, South Korea, right? Passport is KEY.
Yep, your U.S. passport needs to be up-to-date to even think about getting in. I remember back in June 2023, I was sweating bullets at Incheon Airport, just hoping mine was still valid.
Mine was luckily valid, phew! But that was for tourism.
Other stuff? Different story.
- Job? Visa needed.
- Teach English? Visa needed.
- Staying over 90 days?BIG FAT VISA REQUIRED.
Oh man, visas, the bane of my existence. It was crazy trying to get one back in 2023. So much paperwork, seriously. I almost missed my flight, for real!
How much is the tourist visa fee for South Korea?
Ugh, visa fees. Okay, South Korea… Vietnam…right.
- Short stay (under 90 days): $20 (490,000 VND). Easy enough.
- Single entry, but over 90 days: $50 (1,200,000 VND). Hmm.
- Double entry (6 months): $60 (1,450,000 VND). Wait, that’s…odd.
- Multiple entry: $80 (1,950,000 VND).
Huh. Why is double entry almost as much as multiple? That’s weird. I remember when I went to Busan back in 2022, I didn’t even NEED a visa. I hate visa stuff. My friend Trang had to get one last year to visit Seoul and she complained for weeks!
- Fees as of 2024, specifically at the South Korean Embassy in Vietnam.
- Everything is in USD, but I guess they accept VND too.
- Make sure to check the most current info before applying, just in case.
Ugh, remembering Trang complaining about all the paperwork… I think she got the single entry, over 90 days one, since she was there for almost 4 months. Poor thing. Oh, I should probably text her back.
