Laos is making border crossings easier by phasing out paper immigration cards and introducing the Lao Digital Immigration Form (LDIF) from September 2025. All foreign visitors must now complete the online form within three days of travel to receive a QR code for entry or exit. The system promises faster processing, stronger security, and smoother journeys, aligning Laos with Southeast Asia’s growing shift toward digital immigration systems.
