Thank you for your efforts Todd. Chris is the perfect ambassador for Lao -Ive subscribed as a patreon in appreciation .

You can't beat a good harmonica tune for video back ground music, even if you have to pay for his time. Lots of good info in this one. 👍

After living and working here in Laos for nearly 10 years, I can't imagine myself going back to the States. I feel like there is so much more freedom and is far more relaxing here in Laos.

Great interview, perhaps one of your most informative. Chris is a great guy, had the odd beer with him myself, and he is a real professional when it comes to his work. I have been here in Lao of and on over for the last 12 years and I recommend anyone coming here to to have their paperwork done by Chris.

Great interview and thank you for sharing !! Definitely will reaching out to Chris for more information.

G’day Todd Wow awesome video and great information from Chris, definitely answered a lot of questions for me and will be the man I see to organise myself in the future. Awesome tunes on the harmonica and such a chilled back arvo you both had, keep up the good work mate. 👍

As Chris said - don’t come here to be a ‘dodgy’ foreigner - to literally and metaphorically f*** with Lao people. It is a welcoming country, but respect that welcome and give back - don’t just take.

That was a fantastic information video! Thank you for sharing. I will defiantly be in contact with Mr. Chris.

Thank you Chris n Todd...see you in laos 2024...chris you start my paperwork..3.5k no problem....born in Laos but raise in Ohio...

I can vouch for Chris he helped me get my work visa sorted out. He was very helpful and informative throughout the process. Thanks Chris much love bro.

Awesome, thanks for sharing; very informative.

I’m first times.love you chanel.thanks you sharing with us I love Laos.

Who knows, perhaps Covid never will simply evaporate.....I also appreciate the love of life shown by Chris and, most of all, the sheer respect he shows for both Laos and Laotians. The world - and SE Asia, and especially Indochina - needs more people like this.

CERTIFICATES OF ENTRY FOR FOREIGNERS INTO LAOS as of Monday August 23rd 2021 NO MORE NEW COE’s WILL BE ISSUED AS OF THIS MORNING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE (due to the number of covid positive imported cases lately - please don’t ask when this will change, i’ll post when it does) Previously applied COE’s (invoiced & paid) are being processed normally and entry to Laos will be granted according to your declared entry date and quarantine hotel. Please pm for new COE requests ONLY if you are a foreigner with a government / NGO contract or are employed by e.g. a Dam/Mining company or similar so we can assess your situation and assist your return to Laos. Additional confirmation: if you have a COE in progress please note that since mid August you must now pay for insurance, gps tracker & pcr test BEFORE it is issued per new procedure / CMU invoice below. Without this new CMU invoice your COE will NOT be issued. We are very busy getting current applicants back into Laos so please limit your request to urgent & important matters only. New Visa requests, renewals etc. are still being processed in country even though borders are closed, please pm if you are in Laos and need a 3, 6 or 12 month visa. As soon as you contact Chris (Whatsapp preferred) he will immediately send you his company information, procedure and pricing pertaining to your personal situation. PLEASE NOTE: Chris can ONLY process anything 7 or 8 weeks before your PLANNED arrival, so please do not contact him more than 2 months before your planned trip to Laos. The situation is always changing because of Covid, and the information he gives you today may not be the same when you do plan to come. Please try to be precise in your request and current situation (location, previous travel history, girlfriend / married / kids or family in laos, retired, digital nomad etc.) Thanks! To contact Chris directly: CONTACT CHRIS BARTH: facebook.com/laosvis Whatsapp +8562054649654 Please note, because of the current Covid situation in Thailand, you can not gain entry to Laos from Thailand, it has been blacklisted. You will be denied entry unless you are Lao or hold permanent residency. So please, DO NOT come to Laos via Thailand. This is the same for India at this time. A big THANK YOU to Chris for taking the time to share all this very helpful information with us. If you have any questions at all, please let us know below. No doubt Chris and I will be meeting again to bring you guys more information. Thanks for watching 🙏

Chris is cool Dude!

the new marriage benefits introduced in 2018 makes it interesting. being able to stay for 1 year and work. I was born in Lao but I have to go through the same process as any other foreigners.

Perfect

Very informative. I would add though, that you don't need an exit visa at the moment, which is a nearly half the cost of any annual visa.
