Wholly owned by Laos's influential Phongsavanh business group, LCA is embarking on a major expansion to strengthen its initial target market _ Laos-Thailand _ and extend its reach to various key Asean cities.
On the radar screen for the longer term is the debut of intercontinental flights, to Europe, from LCA's Vientiane hub with the acquisition of Boeing 777 long-range wide-body jets, LCA chief executive Savanhphone Phongsavanh told the Bangkok Post.
Setting the stage for the aggressive regional expansion of LCA, which only took to the skies in May 2012, is the roll-in of a fleet of Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100s that commenced last month.
The Vientiane-based full-service airline signed a contract with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Co in March 2011 for three single-aisle SSJ100s in a two-class configuration with 93 seats, with an option for an additional six jets.
LCA received the first SSJ100 on Feb 15, making it the first operator of such aircraft in Southeast Asia.
It has also set firm dates for taking delivery of the second and third SSJ100s, in May and August this year.
With the service entry of the three SSJ100s, which are joining LCA's original fleet consisting of two old Boeing 737-400s, the airline intends to gradually launch more than seven international routes in the region.
Over the next few months, LCA will begin regular service from Khon Kaen to Luang Prabang, the second Thailand-Laos route after Bangkok-Vientiane, LCA's first and only international route, said Mrs Savanhphone, the daughter of Laotian tycoon Od Phongsavanh.
Six other international routes in the pipeline are Vientiane to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kunming.

Laos réfléchit régional régime de visa unique
Laos envisage l'introduction de visas d'entrée unique pour rationaliser touristique dans l'espoir d'attirer plus de visiteurs et de stimuler la croissance dans l'industrie.
Voisins Thaïlande et le Cambodge ont récemment signé un accord pour permettre aux touristes étrangers d'entrer dans l'autre pays en utilisant un visa, ce qui rend les deux pays, le premier dans la région à introduire le régime.
Une délégation lao envisage de se rendre au Cambodge, peut-être à la fin de ce mois, pour étudier l'expérience du Cambodge en ce qui concerne le régime des visas unique et les procédures impliquées, un haut responsable du département consulaire du ministère des Affaires étrangères a déclaré au Vientiane Times hier.
«Le Cambodge a répondu à notre demande concernant la visite d'étude», at-il dit. «Nous sommes impatients de savoir si les droits de visa est partagée et, si c'est le cas, comment cela se fait."
Il ya eu de nombreux appels à des entreprises de la région en encourageant leurs gouvernements à adopter une politique de visa unique.
Le dernier appel est venu la semaine dernière lors de la 5e Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Stratégie de coopération économique (ACMECS) tenu à Vientiane. ACMECS dirigeants et représentants d'entreprises des pays membres - Cambodge, Laos, Myanmar, Thaïlande et Vietnam - se sont réunis en marge du sommet pour discuter de la question.
Le secteur des entreprises a encouragé les autres pays à ACMECS suivre l'exemple de la Thaïlande et du Cambodge et d'introduire le régime des visas unique en 2015.
"La mise en place progressive d'un régime ACMECS visa unique aiderait à promouvoir la réalisation des« cinq pays, une destination "Concept", a déclaré le président du Conseil ACMECS conjointe d'affaires, M. Kissana Vongsay.
M. Kissana, qui est président de la Chambre nationale lao du Commerce et de l'Industrie, a présenté un rapport à la réunion des dirigeants de l'ACMECS, qui a été convenu par les entreprises concernées.
Président par intérim de l'Association des Agents de Voyages Laos, M. Khamtanh Keungpan Nha, a déclaré que si le visa unique est introduite, elle encouragerait beaucoup plus de gens à visiter le Laos.
Il a ajouté que la question a été discutée lors du Forum Asean Tourism récente qui a eu lieu à Vientiane en Novembre.
Directeur général de l'Institut national de recherche économique, le Dr Liber Libuapao, a suggéré qu'il y aurait plus d'avantages que la perte économique si le régime a été mis en place.
Mais il a recommandé qu'il devrait y avoir un mécanisme pour partager les frais de visa. Si non, alors, pour plusieurs raisons Laos pourraient être désavantagés.
Dr Liber dit l'inconvénient potentiel est en grande partie dû au fait que le Laos est généralement considérée par les touristes comme deuxième destination plutôt que leur seul primaire, donc les frais de visa serait perçue par le premier pays visité.
Laos n'a pas de vols directs avec de nombreux pays, mais d'autres dans la région de faire. Les touristes peuvent tout simplement payer pour un visa dans un de ces pays et voyager au Laos, ce qui signifie d'autres pays bénéficieraient tandis que le Laos serait perdante, le Dr Liber dit.
À l'heure actuelle, les touristes entrent dans le Laos doit payer des frais de visa entre US $ 14 et US $ 42 en fonction de leur nationalité.
L'an dernier, 3,3 millions de touristes ont visité le Laos.

Détenue en totalité par le Laos du groupe d'affaires influent Phongsavanh, LCA se lance dans une expansion majeure de renforcer son marché cible initial _ Laos-Thaïlande _ et d'étendre sa portée aux différentes villes clés de l'ANASE.

Préparer le terrain pour l'expansion agressive régional de l'ACV, qui n'a pris son envol en mai 2012, est le roll-in d'une flotte de fabrication russe Sukhoi Superjet 100, qui a commencé le mois dernier.
La base de Vientiane plein service aérien signé un contrat avec Sukhoi Aircraft Co civile en Mars 2011 pour trois monocouloirs SSJ100s dans une configuration bi-classe avec 93 sièges, avec une option pour une période supplémentaire de six jets.

Il a également fixé des dates fermes pour prendre livraison des SSJ100s deuxième et troisième, en mai et en Août de cette année.
Avec l'entrée en service des trois SSJ100s, qui vont rejoindre la flotte d'origine LCA constitué de deux vieux Boeing 737-400s, la compagnie a l'intention de lancer progressivement plus de sept routes internationales dans la région.
Au cours des prochains mois, l'ACV entrera en service régulier de Khon Kaen à Luang Prabang, le second Thaïlande-Laos route après Bangkok-Vientiane, LCA première route et seulement internationale, a déclaré Mme Savanhphone, la fille du magnat du Laos Phongsavanh Od.

Depuis peu, les voyageurs peuvent bénéficier d'un visa unique CAMBODGE/THAILANDE.
Certains internautes l'on-t-il testé?

Dois-je remplir, du coup, deux formulaires ?
Hi there,
I have a 9-seater passenger vehicle that I use for my business in Paris, transporting people.
I’m planning to go to Algeria with my family.
The vehicle registration lists my company as the owner.
Can I get a TPD (Temporary Admission Document)?
Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?
Thanks for your help.
Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!
Hi,
I’m bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,
to help me sleep.
I’ll have the prescription with me.
Will this be a problem at customs, and do I need to declare it?
Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.
What’s the process, and which insurance should I get?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Best,
Seb
Hi there,
I’m a French citizen living in Switzerland, and I set up an RV LLC in Montana, USA. Through that, I was able to register 3 vehicles (an RV, a Jeep, and a Harley) with Montana plates.
I’d like to spend 3 months in Mexico, but it seems complicated—maybe even impossible—to cross the border from the US with all 3 vehicles.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?
It was closed for a while.
Thanks for any info!
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April.
My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date.
Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry.
However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht).
This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea?
Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast!
Cheers,
Bruno.
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.
We’ve decided to spend one day in Switzerland and another in Italy. Will we need ID (national ID card or passport)? Do we also need ID for our daughter?
Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.
Best regards,
M. Buisson Eric
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident.
I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia.
For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France?
Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!
Elisabeth
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted.
Is this real or just a hoax?
Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received.
Thanks everyone.
Hi there,
We need to apply for a B2 visa because we visited Iran in 2018. It currently costs $185, but they’re planning an additional $250 fee per person for the same visa—it’s been approved but not yet implemented. Does anyone know when this fee will take effect?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In November, we're heading off on a 4-month trip. We'll be landing in China and plan to leave the country via a land border into Vietnam.
I’ve read that China may ask for proof of exit within 30 days (flight ticket or other reservation). Since we’d be leaving by land, I’m wondering how this works in practice.
Has anyone here been in this situation recently?
Did the airline ask for an exit ticket before boarding?
Did Chinese authorities require proof upon arrival?
Is a train/bus ticket to Vietnam sufficient?
Is a cancelable or flexible reservation accepted?
Hi there,
Just a question that’s probably been asked before (though usually the other way around for my situation :))
My wife and I are heading to the US.
On her ticket, it only has her maiden name (e.g., Martine DUPOND).
On her passport, it’s written as Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY.
No issues for travel, I hope I did the right thing with the ticket?
Then for the ESTA, is just Martine DUPOND enough, or do I need to include the "épouse AVRY" part like on the passport?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m spending a few days in San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and would like to cross the Argentine border to make a loop toward Salta and then return to Chile to drop off the rental car.
I’ve heard that crossing the border can be tricky!
Is it possible with a rental company’s authorization? Which company, and at what cost?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Best regards,
Arnale
I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).
I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.
That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.
But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?
I read on the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that it’s possible to apply for a temporary driving permit in China, valid for 1 month.
I’m planning to rent a car (without a driver) to explore part of the country next August, so I was wondering:
Has anyone here already gone through this process upon arrival?
How long do the formalities take on the spot?
Is it possible to handle these steps in advance, before arriving in China?
Hi there,
My departure is slowly approaching, and now that I’ve got my Russian visa sorted, I’m fine-tuning the rest of my trip to Tajikistan. Since the Tajik visa is no longer required for stays under 30 days (for French nationals), I’ll need to visit the Ministry of Interior (OVIR) to register within 10 days of entering the country. No big deal, though, since I had to go there anyway to apply for my GBAO permit. 😉 However, I’ve *seen* several reports from travelers (mostly motorized) mentioning that you need an entry permit for Kyrgyzstan, which has to be arranged in advance at the Kyrgyz Ministry (consulate?) in Dushanbe. Otherwise, you’re *stuck* at the Kyzyl-Art border (with no Wi-Fi, of course, to try and sort it out). The most recent report was from a year ago, so I’d love to know if this is still the case and if it’s indeed at the Kyrgyz Ministry (consulate?) where you need to go for this pre-authorization.
Does anyone have any recent info on this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone.
I’m leaving for almost 3 months in the Philippines (11 weeks total) starting in early May.
I already have my round-trip ticket.
The problem is, I don’t have time to get a 2-month visa because the process takes nearly a month.
From what I’ve read here and there, I need a return ticket valid for less than a month when I arrive in the Philippines to prove my good faith.
After that, I can apply for a 30-day extension at the immigration office.
I’m planning to either buy a fully refundable ticket to the nearest country or a fake ticket.
For 3 months, I’ll need to extend my visa two more times before my return date to France.
My question is this:
Will immigration ask me each time I extend my visa by one month to show proof of an exit ticket matching the new visa extension date?
Is it possible to extend directly by 2 months before the initial 30 days expire?
Thanks in advance for your experiences and tips! 😊
I’ve been to Thailand several times, but it was about 20 years ago…
There’s a new system in place now, it seems.
TDAC – Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
Before arriving, I apply for a TDAC, okay.
If during my stay I cross the border to spend a few days in Malaysia and then re-enter Thailand,
do I need to submit a new TDAC application?
Do I use the same TDAC as when I first entered the country?
Or do I initially have to pay for a Thai multi-entry visa?
Thanks in advance for your insights—I can’t find the answer online.
My partner (Mexican) entered France on January 21st as a tourist. She was therefore entitled to stay for 90 days in the Schengen Area. She’ll be leaving for Mexico on April 16th, so she’ll have “used up” 86 days.
She plans to return to France on July 18th. According to the European Commission’s Schengen calculator, this new stay “may be authorized for a maximum of 90 days.” That’s not very clear ("may be," "for a maximum of").
The text of Article 6 of the European regulation (2016/399) states that for a stay planned in the territory of the Member States, not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period, one must examine "the 180-day period preceding each day of the stay." That’s not very clear either.
My partner wants to return to France for a 90-day period starting on July 18th. Is this possible?
There are two ways to look at it:
1) The first day she spent in the Schengen Area was January 21st. That day will drop out of the calculation 180 days later, on July 20th.
From July 20th, she’ll get back 1 day of possible stay; on July 22nd, 2 days; and so on. All the days from her previous stay (January 21st–April 16th) need to be outside the 180-day rolling window.
The last day of her stay was April 16th. Looking 180 days ahead, that brings us to October 13th. From that date, she’ll be able to return for a full 90 days.
2) The number of allowed days is calculated for each day of the new stay. In other words: the 180-day window is recalculated every day, not fixed at the entry date.
If she re-enters France on July 18th, she’ll only have a “credit” of 4 days. But with each day of her new stay, one day from the previous stay (January–April) will drop out of the calculation. The rolling window allows her to “replace” days from the previous stay with those of the new stay, without ever exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.
In this case, my partner could stay in France for 90 days starting on July 18th.
The Prefecture doesn’t provide any information, nor does Air France, and in the forums I’ve checked, opinions are divided. Thanks for any insights you can share!
Hello,
We’re planning to travel to Indonesia (Sulawesi with family) next July and August for a stay longer than a month (about 6 weeks).
I’ve seen that it’s possible to get a 60-day visa before departure, but I’ve also read about people having a lot of trouble getting it (some even didn’t manage and had to leave without it).
We absolutely need to have these 4 visas BEFORE leaving because once we’re in Sulawesi, I’m not sure we’ll be able to go to an embassy to request a visa extension after 30 days.
In short, how can we **100% guarantee** that we’ll get our 4 60-day visas before our trip this summer?
Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
We’re heading back in October for a trip through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
I have a question: for our route, we’ll need to cross the Zambia and Zimbabwe borders twice each. From experience, I know we won’t have any issues with Botswana.
But for the other two countries, I can’t find a clear answer.
All your tips are welcome!
I’m currently a student on a gap year, and I don’t plan to go back to school right away. That said, traveling really interests me. But I’ve been wondering: does being a student come with any perks when you decide to go abroad? The real question is whether I should re-enroll in a program just to keep that status without actually attending.
hi everyone,
I’m French and live in France, and my Thai girlfriend just told me she’s pregnant—she lives in Thailand. First step, a paternity test to set my mind at ease. What steps do I need to take to recognize the child? Can I do it before the birth or only after? Where do I need to go, and what paperwork is required?
Just to clarify, I want him to stay in Thailand but be able to come to France anytime without any issues!
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.
