🇱🇦 Laos visa requirements for Danish citizens

Entry rules for Denmark passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Denmark can travel to Laos for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 15 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 15-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Laos, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Laos immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Danish passport ranks #4 worldwide, opening 165 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (127 visa-free, 31 with a visa on arrival and 7 with an eTA). Laos is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Laotian citizens need to arrange entry to Denmark in advance (visa required).

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 10 of 11 destinations are open to Danish travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
