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.
