And here is some great news too, you can stay in Laos up to 3 months without leaving the country with a visa extension. Entry permit extensions (sometimes referred to as "visa extensions") are available from the Immigration Department in Vientiane, the Immigration Department in Luang Prabang, the Police Station in Pakse, the Police Station opposite the Lao-Mongolian Hospital in Phonsavan and in other cities. Extensions are not possible in Savannakhet, although it is located near the border so you can do a border run. The cost is US$2 per day plus a small "form fee" ranging between 5,000 kip (Pakse) to US$2 (Luang Prabang).
