Yes, you must print your Laos eVisa and carry a physical copy when traveling, as it must be presented to airline staff and border officials.
What You Need to Know
Laotian authorities require travelers to carry a printed copy of their approved eVisa. Airline staff and border control may ask to see this document upon departure and arrival. Digital versions on mobile devices are generally not accepted as a substitute, and travelers without a printed copy may be denied boarding or entry.
Our Recommendation
Always print a copy of your Laos eVisa and carry it with your passport used for the application. If you applied through sherpa°, your eVisa will be sent to your email once approved. Print it as soon as you receive it.
A Quick Tip
Keep an extra printed copy of your eVisa in a separate bag or email a copy to yourself for easy reprinting in case the original is lost or damaged.
