don't worry brother seeharhed as long as you really would like to visit hometown or stay over there in the rest of your life, i think you can be happy without $$ and there are opportunities to work and earn $$ in laos as well..

 

Prime Minister of Laos you are my idoll!!!

this is a great policy if ti goes through. haha this also reminds me of another earlier article that said the same thing but this time they were more specific in their vocabulary.


"The government is considering allowing people of Lao ethnicity living overseas to extend the length of a visit to Laos beyond the time normally permitted under a tourist visa, according to a senior official from Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

maybe this time their wont be any mistakes or controversy regarding ex patriots coming back and helping our home land develop into the future.  if any one knows what i am talking about.

putting that aside this would be a wonderful policy,

Lao expatriates may get long stay visit visas

The government is considering allowing people of Lao ethnicity living overseas to extend the length of a visit to Laos beyond the time normally permitted under a tourist visa, according to a senior official from Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The move is part of efforts by the government to encourage native Lao who left the country during the Indochina War several decades ago to return home and take part in the development process.

Lao Overseas Relations Department Acting Director General, Mr Phonekham Inthabualy, said yesterday the department had completed a draft of the policy, hoping to submit it to government leaders for approval in the near future.

“We hope the Prime Minister will approve the policy early this year,” he told Vientiane Times.

Mr Phonekham said the policy drafting committee would ask the government to allow Lao expatriates to stay in Laos for up to nine months on a single entry visa so they could enjoy living and doing business in their motherland.

At present, a single entry visa allows tourists to stay in Laos for only 30 days. Visitors who want to stay longer have to exit and re-enter Laos to obtain a new visa.

Mr Phonekham said the committee had also proposed to the government that Lao expatriates have special real estate rights in Laos . But, he said, it was up to the government to decide whether to approve the policy.

Under Lao law, only Lao people can obtain land use rights while foreigners can only lease land.

The Lao National Assembly has approved a newly revised investment promotion law, which allows foreigners who invest US$500,000 in Laos to own land use rights here. The government expects to promulgate the law early this year.

Mr Phonekham said a number of special policies were being considered for Lao expatriates.

The government will make it easier for native Lao of other nationalities to marry a Lao national. At present foreigners who want to marry a Lao national have to obtain a large number of documents.

Lao expatriates engaged in business will be eligible for tax reductions when they invest in or run a business in Laos , he said.

Mr Phonekham said the committee's proposal was in accordance with the recommendations of Lao expatriates so they would find the policy attractive. Many native born Lao want to return to Laos because they feel comfortable here and have parents, aunts and uncles living in Laos .

According to Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimates, there are about 600,000 native born Lao living overseas.

Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh made a strong commitment to representatives of Lao expatriates who visited Laos for the 25th SEA Games that the government would consider and approve the policy.

He said the Lao government did not consider history to be the basis of rules for development, adding that native born Lao, wherever they are, should join hands to develop the motherland.

Officials said the government had opened up Laos to the world and now needed the united forces of Lao people all around the world to develop the nation.

Is there any guarantee from the top government if we invest in Laos by the foreigner (lao nork)? or still under the table from the lower bureaucrate to the top bureaucrate? any contract to be sign from the top government? ? if we were the lao nork that was born in Laos. are we allow to inherite anyland or properties from where we left off?

This proposal is good for the older folks.  Nine months off for the youth, healthy, able to work and making a good money; I don't think that possible.  If they wanted lao nork to make a real and sincere contribution to built laos, they should 
  1:  Allowed them the right to own the land.  The mojority of lao nork will come back to laos to built the house, start a small business, a cattle ranch, fish farm, coffee plantation, rubber plantation,etc.....Now.... That what I called the real contribution to the country.
  2:  Allowed them to hold dual citizenship.  This will pretty much guaranty the in flow of money to the motherland.  Even after they're retire from work the money is still coming.....come....on that marvelous idea if i do say so myself.

Vientiane Laos 7/1/10
I think dual citizenship allow only age more than 60 year.

          Who have a lot of money and successful persons with brain , well educated and skill workers .So there are no room for the losers and high school drop out and scrum bags .

It's a good news. No more the word " Lao Nork", everywhere are Lao people.

The high school drop off, but smatter then some one gladuated from DONGDOK University DER!!

Are you from section Frencaire or Englaire?

 High school drop out and scrum bags  and gang members could even balance their check books or have any credit cards and they are lucky if they could get a decent job with minimum wage so no need those scrum bags to come back to Laos it cost money to keep them in prison and feed them. Laos need only the one with money and brain.

I´m very proud to hear this news from the lao government to give this opportunity for lao oversee. 9 month visa is long enough to stay with my mom and my dad there.

thanks a lot Mr Bouasone Bouphavahn. You are the best lao PM.

         9 month is not enough , all the European countries give us  longer and no visa at all. We are Laotian why could we not be treated like the Vietnamese and Chinese who could stay longer and some illegal Vietnamese stay as long as they want and no one  dare to deport them. 

Can anyone confirm if this is true? Where are these news coming from? Where are the sources? Certainly, this is not far fetch at all. Traveling and staying longer for business purposes without worrying that the visa will expire.

i m a school drop out......................and not well educated person.
when well educated says, should not use persons, maybe people is better way to say.

It's called cheque book not "check book".  The debates are still raging among scientists as to whether Pluto is a planet or not.  According to some people Pluto is too small to be qualified as a planet.

Just like China and Vietnam, Laos is a Communist country by name only.  There's nothing "communal" what soever in Laos.  Australia and many other European countries are more communist than Laos.

 

Do Lao Nai still call each other comrade or "sahhi"?

                   Very interesting that is very new to me. Really ,  you are serious and you are not kidding me . Australia and many other European countries  are more communist than Laos. What 's a surprise ?  By the way what is communism ? Australia and many other European countries their leaders and governments are elected by the people. Their leaders and their government would like to make the important decisions or changing the laws or any decision must be approved by their people by let their people  vote to pass it or not. So Lao government let Lao people to vote for the president and prime minister ? Ask Lao people for the approval of any projects or allow the Lao people to give any of Lao people 's opinions before the government make any decisions and report every detail in public to the people what the government are doing and spending? Do Lao people have the human beign rigth and freedom of  speech and press? Or the Lao president and prime minister are selected by the communist party members only. Do Lao people have any choice ? All the decisions are made for all Lao people by the government regardless the majority of Lao people like it or not. Do the majority of Laotian have future and hope beside being farmers and  cheap labors  in the street? The majority of Laotian were low educated and poor yesterday , are still low educated and poor today and also will be poor and low educated tomorrow if the government won't change the system and foreign policy and diplomatic relationship with the world community. There are only 5 countries still remain communist in the world since the Berlin wall was torn down and Soviet Union was collapsed . Why there are  more countries abandoned communism and become democracy and I hope you know the answer why ?

         That is not bad idea to visit Laos and spending your money in Laos that is a winning situation  for Laos . Also you could enjoy your money and have a good time and also help Lao economy in the same time. But don't wait for Laos to be strong like south Korea and Thailand if there are no Laotian to help Laos because the other nations would careless about Laos  and Lao people but to take advantage .

From growing up I've only heard of  ( Naikhoo ) in Lao language meaning teacher.
