Expatriates Laos Community
Welcome to the Expat Laos Chapter!
Yin dee torn lap and a warm welcome to InterNations Laos! Our network for expats in Laos is tailored to your particular needs and helps you with moving to and settling in Laos. Relocating overseas to a foreign country is adventurous and also challenging now and then. For expatriates Laos a lot of questions come up such as: ʺHow good is the health care system in Laos and do I need special vaccinations?ʺ, ʺIn which district should we live when moving to Luang Namtha?ʺ or ʺHow about the overall safety in Vientiane?ʺ And many more questions…
InterNations aims to support you, as an expatriate, in getting to know the Laos expat community and discovering the Laotian way of life in all its facets, from having the traditional larb with sticky rice to celebrating commemmorating the dead at Luang Prabang.
Our Support for Laos Expatriates
Embark on Laos Expats Life
From the temples, colonial era architecture, and night market of Luang Prabang to the four thousand islands within the Mekong, Laos has much to offer to expatriates, tourists and travelers from all over the world. However, the growing expat Laos community is mainly attracted by its economic challenges, e.g. in the service sector, and the urban development in Vientiane and Savannakhet. Expat living in Laos surely can face a challenge once in a while, but at the same time it is a wonderful intercultural experience you will never forget.
The Network for like-minded Expatriates in Laos
In our social network, you can easily get in touch with other expatriates living in Laos in a private and protected environment where trust, confidence and friendly ‘netiquette’ are essentials. You may ask other expat members from Laos’s international community about insider tips, e.g. how to obtain a work permit. Moreover, you’ll also meet your fellow expatriates in Laos in real life at our top-quality InterNations Get-Togethers – the best way for casual socializing in the capital city and other places like Luang Namtha or Savannakhet for all members of the Laos expat community.
