For those who didn't UNDERSTAND IT.

Here is an exerpt from the article from :

http://www.voanews.com/lao/2010-01-16-voa4.cfm

"Also included in the new policy are provisions to accommodate other needs of Lao expatriates who return home, such as granting the rights to use and own land, buildings, and other types of properties to those who invest more than US$ 300,000 in Laos."

AGAIN.. - "GRANTING THE RIGHTS TO USE AND OWN LAND, BUILDINGS AND OTHER TYPES OF PROPERTIES TO THOSE WHO INVEST MORE THAN $300,000 IN LAOS"

Does this mean you, INVEST $300,000 first in some government project AND then you can BUY/OWN LAND and Property? IF this is true, then you're putting $300k INVESTMENT AND buy your house and land.  Then that would mean total CASH YOU NEED TO BRING TO LAOS WILL BE MORE THAN $300K. 

Or does INVEST mean..YOU JUST BUY A $300,000 HOUSE and OWN IT and the LAND..and that is considered the INVESTMENT?

Think about it?  YOU INVEST $300,000..just to make it legally yours!

Again I REPEAT, it is NOT A LAW YET! Laos government is still working on the bill, hopefully the PM will approve and sign into LAW.  But as with many Laotian laws, THEY ARE VAGUE and LEFT OPEN TO INTERPRETATION.

BUK HOO KEE....YOU SAID IT BEST BRO!  PLEASE SAY IT AGAIN!!!

Worthless, you are WantingLaostobeIndependence, you can't hide dude.

I got another way to get to Laos and it's by using my other head, if you know what I mean. They mentioned something about being able to marry a native Laosy so does that mean if I marry a Laosy girl, I automatically get permanent residence and can own land and work or do business there? I think my sperm is woth over $300k, we even have sperm banks for them now.

"The government will also make it especially easier for native Laotians from abroad to marry  Lao nationals."

I didn't know there were laws in Laos, I thought the way it worked over there was that the rich are always right, Falungs pay triple the price stated, and expats are not to be trusted unless they have over $300k cash up front. I guess money i$ $till the law over there.

Price to pay the commies to go back to live in Laos, $300,000
Airfare for a one way ticket to Vientiane, $1200~
Cheap hooker for a night, $25
No rights or freedom, free
The look on your face after you've been had, priceless

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

I'd love to go back and start a new life in Laos..  For the mean time, I have to save some $$..  It is almost impossible to save up to $300,000.

Very entertaining .  Is $300,000 the fee to be there? The land, house and business on top of the fee?

But seriously.  I can buy land, build a business and a house in Laos that are worth $300K (minimum)?

Lucky you. You are set for early retirement in Laos. If you want Laos citizens maybe move there and marry Lao wife. If you're single.

I think same as the U.S if you got $500,000 to invest they'll give you green card.

I'm a permanent resident, but you would not want to go through what I went through 20 years ago in order to get it.

If your parents were Lao, can't you get Lao nationality on that basis?

To qualify for permanent resident status, you have to have lived in Laos for 10 years.
