http://laos.usembassy.gov/index.html Most older Hmong people don't bother with the process of registering themselves and it is NOT a requirement... But for my own safety and peace of mind, I am going to do this.
Another debate I am having is this... What's your take??? Get a VISA before leaving the USA or get a VISA "ON ARRIVAL". I have heard really good arguements from both sides... prices, convience, peace of mind, ease of applying. The list goes on and on. Get one here for 50.00 or get one there for 35.00? I have heard arguements from both sides. Inputs welcome.
