I still have a good 20-25 years to work in the petroleum industry and it would be wise to diversify my portfolio.  Laos is a land of opportunity as we are speaking and I would like tap the opportunity and creating some jobs for khonLao in Laos Wink.

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.

Even the old school open style homes (the ones with no front doors!) are selling for at least $200,000. The decent looking homes, anyway. I'm sure your home - or any other private property - isn't a part of the 'investment' expectations.

Maybe cheaper if you build your own house. Outside of Vientiane, a little far out.

That is my dream.  A nice size land in the outskirts, preferrably east of Vientiane (less air and noise pollution), and a Mekong River view would be nice as well.  What is the company that are building homes in Vientiane right now?

Im not sure about home building company in Laos. There should be plenty of company. You can buy land, build house, pick the design and hire contractors. Maybe you can build a decent house for under $50,000-$70k. I don't need a big mansion or villa. But land, prices  materials and cost of labors go up every year. If you plan to build a house in Laos in the future the best thing to do is try to buy a land now. In 10-15 year it'll go way way up. For more infor about buying land, property, rents check out rentsbuy.com.

My uncle in Vientiane is a carpenter, house builder. When I need to build one I just ask him. I also has education background in house building, but it's not what I do for living. I can't just build a house because not enough experiences, but I know how the process work. About two year back my uncle ask us if we want to buy neighbor land for $6,000. Now its probably cost more.

The probelm with buying land now is that I cannot have my name on it I am a foreigner to Laos.  YOu have to be a Lao national to own land or invest a minimum of $500K in Laos to do so.

Your uncle does both residential and commercial buildings?  All buildings are built to Lao PDR codes? I guess you would know alot about the codes.

The only building code in Laos involves how many floors you can have in Vientiane.  Outside the city, you can pretty well build what you like as long as it's not in an area designated for agricultural or industrial production.

Have you considered the option of signing a long term lease (say 50 years) on a piece of land?  Then you pay the owner the lump sum and for him it's even better since the land returns to his family after 50 years.

Of course, with a lease you don't get to pass on the land to your children after you die.

My uncle when to technical college in Laos to learn how to build house. That's his profession. He know all the building code. Just like Old Man say there's probably not much building code in Laos.

I went to technical college for 3 year, 2 year for Machining Technicians and 1 year for building house. There's so many building code in the U.S. Basement need waterproof, need egress window, need water, plumbing, electricity, house can't be to close to the road or neighbor stuff like that. And many more.

Unless your children signed a new contract with the original seller's children, the land would return to the original owner's family.  Although I would think it would be legally OK to dismantle the house and take it away if physically possible.

Dismantling and moving entire houses is quite common here, but is becoming less so as most new houses are built out of brick, not wood.
