Just like with crossing any border, you will be required to submit documents when doing a visa run at the Lao Bao Land Border. Here are the documents you need to prepare:
- Laos Visa Application form
- Laos visa fee that will cost around $35 per person
- Original copy of Visa approval letter
- An original passport copy that’s valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry
- Two passport-sized photos
- Vietnam visa stamping fee
- Vietnamese Visa Application form
Take note that for the Vietnam visa-stamping fee, they will only accept payment in cash, either in USD or VND currency. As for the Laos visa, you can pay in the LAK currency. If you don’t have any local currency with you, there’s no need to worry for you can get your money exchanged from any of the moneychangers in Huong Hoa.
Crossing the Lao Bao Land Border Crossing for your visa runs should be easy. Just make sure you come prepared. Prepare all the documents ahead, most especially your passport and visa. If you need help with this, you can always get in touch with a local agency in Danang to help with your visa run.
