Rules for entry into Laos explained

[reader]

From Phnom Penh Post

Foreigners wanting to enter Laos need to register to get a QR code (Vaccine ID) online at “laogreenpass.gov.la” in order to certify their vaccination status and RT-PCR test result, authorities have announced.

The QR code also enables Lao authorities to track the risk status of circle 1 (C1) and circle 2 (C2) of foreign arrivals.

To register for the QR code, an applicant needs to fill out a form online, giving passport details, a vaccination or treatment certificate issued not less than six months ago, a hotel booking, life insurance/Covid-19 insurance, and a Covid-19 test certificate issued not more than 72 hours earlier, which can be sent later.

To proceed with registration, applicants must go to the “laogreenpass.gov.la” website, fill in the information fields and upload the application form.

Once the form has been successfully uploaded, the applicant must wait until the Covid-19 taskforce has checked that the form has been filled in correctly. Once the form has been accepted, the applicant will receive an email with a QR code.

For more information, applicants are advised to visit the “laogreenpass.gov.la” website or call mobile number +856-20-2880-0262.

As of March 4, some 22 applications had been approved. Another 156 applications are pending and one was rejected, according to authorities in charge.

I'm not rushing to apply:

"The new online system will initially be available for diplomatic employees, employees of international organizations, business people and investors, and other foreigners residing in Laos.

The system will also facilitate foreigners of Lao descent living abroad.

A 48-hour quarantine period following an RT-PCR test for foreign residents arriving in Laos will remain in place, after which seven-day home isolation is authorized."
