We were thinking about getting new chinese visa and the cheapest way seems to be going to Laos. Is it possible to get visa-on-arrival on the border?If anyone has any information about it, share please))

This whole Visa thing is a pain. I wish there was a 'Visa' button information on this site.

Yes, you can get a visa on arrival on the Mohan-Boten border. If possible, pay in USD (30 USD). RMB or THB are also accepted, but at very bad rates. Take a picture of you with you as well, otherwise they charge a fee, normally just 1 USD, so not a big deal. On weekends they charge another 1-2 USD for their "weekend overtime";-)

Anyhow, can you provide your nationality to make sure that I didn't tell you anything wrong...?

The real cheapest way is to extend your visa for 30 days with the Kunming PSB. But visiting Laos is a good thing too.

Pongtong, I'm from Ukraine. Did you do such thing already?

Almost everyone can do what Pongtong posted. Except certain countries.

I don't see Ukraine on the list, so you should be fine. Be ware the border at Mohan closes by 5pm on the Chinese side to foreigners.

Thanks for information!

Oh they charge different visa prices for different countries. But it's somewhere between $25-$55 USD depending on your citizenship. Most countries are around $35 USD.
