Sponsored long-stay business visa (LA-B2) for retirees
Sponsored long-stay business visa (LA-B2) for retirees is a residence route in Laos (Retraite). No formal retirement visa. Retirees 50+ obtain 3–12-month LA-B2 via licensed local sponsor/agent (~USD 300–600/yr). Alternative I-B3 long-stay reportedly needs USD 20k in a Lao bank for 6 months or USD 40k for 1 yr. Unverified, practice varies.
