within the north-central part of the country and the town shares a border with Laos.\u00a0 For years, the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em> was closed to travelers, but times have changed, and it is fairly simple to travel between these two countries if you know what to expect during your journey.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

Bao Border<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is important that you everything you need before you even attempt crossing the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em> though.\u00a0 The most important document will be the invitation letter to Vietnam, because it is what will get you back over this border when you want to return to the country.\u00a0 You must have the original letter with the red stamp on it in order to have it approved!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The immigration officer at the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em> will ask you many questions about your trip and what you plan on doing when you are over in Laos.\u00a0 After reviewing the letter mentioned above, and checking out your motorbike, you will receive an exit stamp that will allow you to go get the Laos visa sticker.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2949 aligncenter\"

justify;\">Obtaining the Laos visa sticker is easy and straightforward.\u00a0 All you need to do is go to the counter that is labeled, \u201cvisa on arrival\u201d, fill out the form, and give them a single passport sized photo with $35.\u00a0 The cost for the Laos visa sticker does vary according to what country you are from, so you may see a price as low as $32 or as high as $45.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will also want to make sure you have at least four blank pages within your passport, as well as a blue card for the motorbike you are driving.\u00a0 Most of the time, the officers will not even glance at the blue card, but it still a good idea to have it in an easy to find spot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you are cleared to continue crossing the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em>, to get your Laos visa, you must carefully push your motorbike across the border.\u00a0 In fact, plan on doing this until an immigration officer tells you that you are finally allowed to turn your motorbike back on!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_the_Journey_to_the_Lao_Bao_Border\"><\/span><strong>Tips for the Journey to the Lao Bao Border<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is best to start your journey to the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em> early in the day, because it can get crowded there in the middle of the day.\u00a0 An early start will ensure you are ahead of the crowds, although the process does usually move fairly quickly if everyone has what they need ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During your drive to the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em>, and once you have crossed over into Laos, you may encounter many different cows and goats on the road.\u00a0 It is important that you slow down around these creatures and allow them to move out of the way before trying to pass them, so you can avoid an accident.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2947 aligncenter\"

gas stations are fairly far apart, so it is necessary to fill your gas tank at each one you see to avoid running out of gas.\u00a0 It is also an excellent idea to take plenty of water with you, as well as a few snacks, for when you get hungry and thirsty along the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It important to note that you can also take a bus to the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em>, as part of a tour.\u00a0 This is much easier than riding a motorbike, because you can relax on the bus while the driver does the driving.\u00a0 Of course, once you arrive at the <em><strong>Lao Bao border<\/strong><\/em>, you will need to have all your paperwork ready, because the immigration officers will check everyone\u2019s information before letting the bus cross over the border.\u00a0 You will all need to go in for your Laos visa sticker too, but most tour buses are ushered through in no time at all.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span

style=\"text-align: justify;\">Returning to Vietnam at the <strong><em>Lao Bao border<\/em><\/strong> is almost as easy as passing through the first time.\u00a0 You will need all that important paperwork again, especially that invitation letter to Vietnam.\u00a0 The only difference is that now you will go and get your exit stamp from Laos, so you can legally enter Vietnam once again.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2950 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/explorevietnam.com.vn\/hue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Return-to-Vietnam-at-the-Lao-Bao-Border.jpg\" alt=\"Return
