Living
Costs in
Vientiane
To settle down in
Vientiane
for an extended stay will cost
$1,065 per month in basic expenses for a retired couple. We assume you’ll stay in a serviced apartment or guest
house and eat virtually all your meals out, except breakfast which is often
included in the room rate.
We advise
that foreigners refrain from buying real property in
Vientiane
, given the communist government
and related lack of respect for private property. Because of potential
problems in renewing a visa for longer term, we recommend serviced
apartments or guest houses to start your stay.
