I am thinking about go back to Laos for permanently and looking for running a small business with my $350,000.00, usd.
- What kind of business is fitting with my money that I have?
- Which business is not opposed to anyone in Laos?
- With that amount of my money is good to start any small business in Laos?
- How much do I have to pay for opening business fee in Laos?
If anyone know please provide me the information.
Thank you very much.

I think there are a lot of opportunities in Laos.

Are you interested in setting up an import company for some products that do not require large capital? pls leave your email address if you are keen to talk about possible biz ideas.

although i am not in laos at the moment but since i was there for quite sometime i scanned the market and made a no. of friends to do something which unfortunately i could not due to lack of funds.
a beer bar(local style) alongwith local food at a good location is what i found to be lucrative and involves not more than $30000 at the most.
you don't need big money in laos but would be requiring a lao citizen as a partner to run an establishment.
you can consider big investment at a later stage after remaining there for some time.

The problem is, I don't have any Lao citizen to be my close family member or relative in Laos. I don't trust anyone as be my partner to run the business with me. I heard so many people got ripped off by their own cousins and relatives or even their same blood brother and sister in Laos. Thank you for your information brother.....

Who should I be trusted?

jerry56 · Member

no thanks friend!!!!!!
anyway i know a couple of guys lucky enough to be doing pretty well for themselves.
for starters why don't you get some work for yourself in laos, look around find someone trustworthy and then go about it initially with a small investment.

That's what many of my friends told me to leave my money in the bank for my retirement. But, I love Laos, Laos is the land that my parents gave me life and I were born there. I fled our country with my parents when I was 15 year-old and I am now just past my 50th birthday last month. At least, I want to do something to pay back our birth place with the money that I have and I am planning to go back to live in Laos for the rest of my life after I am retired.

Thank you for your information brother....

jerry56 · Member

i am just the same age as you and trust me for what i've told you.
anyway since you are originally from laos there shall not be any problems for you.
as i said start with a small investment. no need to show your money.
with the money you have you can live a very comfortable life in laos.
wish i could be in your shoes.

Common ... having a partner doesn't mean he is always going to rip you off. You can check his background, education level, sign proper contract ..and the most important thing, you should be handling and managing all high transactions.

You dont just let people rip you off easily... at least be a little smarter than those have been ripped off by thier relatives, i think there is a reason for that .... Its your own money... no one can take it unless you give them ok?

Hell NO.. I am not a scammer. I am a master student in Japan and thinking of doing some business in Laos after i graduate. I sort of have a few ideas in minds. I mean you have the same interests why not form partners?

I got my major in Finance and now doing master in economics. So no worry about careful research and analysis for any kind of markets, before we invest, when to invest and how we run business. we can always discuss.. as I said.

You are 50 years old, you have $350k life savings, if you don't want to lose it all and have to start over from scratch at that age, then I suggest you keep your money invested in something low risk such as bonds or gic's. If you really want to invest in Laos then open a bank account there and deposit $100k and earn the 12% interest per year, that's $12k return every year without doing anything and you can live off $12k a year in Laos.

The reason you hear many stories about people losing their shirt from going to Laos and trying their luck is because they think if they can make it in the US, they can make it in Laos. Wrong. Totally different. There are no laws in Laos, all matters can be resolved with money, that's what I learned by being there.

Why do so many Lao people want to start a business for, especially when your old and about to retire? Invest the money so you don't have to work anymore, that's my career goal in life, I thought that's what most people are trying to do. Be debt free and have no more responsibilities, freedom. Perhaps people think it's luxurious to be the boss of something or say they are the "owner".

If you really want to do something for Laos then just setup a school and spend your retired days teaching, that would be very rewarding. Take donations so rich or poor, they will come. Use your $350k to live off the interest from the bank. When you're about to die, can't take money or business, or anything with you, just the memmories of your life flash by you one last time and you either smile or cry.

Thank you for your advice, I look forward to open the bank account in Vientiane when my next visit to Laos this fall. Be a teacher was my dream when I was student in Laos. I might setup a school or class for teaching English for the young children in my hometown, Ban That Luang Vientiane. So, in the end of October this year will be my 25th year of services as a policeman and I could take my retire anytime after that. I really want to do something to payback my birthplace.

Thank you so much, sir.

I am not an expert in business but I would suggest that you should consult with a professional first. What is your major subject when you learned in school or university ,what is your skill ? You should do something that you know very well and love to do . You have $350,00 USD with good business plan and good credit , the bank will give you a loan at least 3 times of the amount of your money which is $1,050,000 USD in the United States. If you go to do the business over specially to help to develop the third world country , I would suggest you to consult with the UN that might have the project for you to create the jobs in Laos and the world bank might give you the loan ( Laotian ) as well. Any way good luck .

Forget about small barshop or barbeer Ok. there are too many already in City of Vientian. Waste your money. What about real-estate ? this is longterm gain, with more than three hundred thousand U.S.dollars ? good enough for small motel or the guesshouses with afew rooms to rent to the tourist or local lao. this would make you longterm investment. how do you like it ? or what about a small farming that raise small life stock like: Chickens, Ducks, Birds, Pigs. Fish and some vegetable and send to a local market ?

That is a very good idea that I have seen for Lao Nork to do . If there are 5000 Lao Nork like this brother with $350,000USD and also with the good skill and knowledge to go back and invest that will make a lot different . There are over 500,000 Laotian in the US .If only 10% go back with $350,000 each with good business plan and credit and capable to get the loan from the bank , Laos soon will be out of poverty. Dream with a little bit of dream but it is still possible just Lao Nork who have been sending money back home to support their families .To the people whom already retired should go visit Laos at least one a year that would help Lao economy as well .

If $350,000 USD is your life time saving so make sure and be sure that you really know what you are doing otherwise you will lose all of your life time saving. The amount of money is only part of the business ,the most important thing is your knowledge and your skill and knowing the business . If you have the skill and good plan then the bank will be back you up with the money .

I am not so sure that the bank will give the loan that easy to any body to go open the business over sea, like they give the loan to the people to open the business in the US , specially in the third world country .

During my visits to Laos, I hace asked around and I have seen for myself what works and doesn't work in terms of business and investing. Most of them tell me that they got "rich" by selling their land or property after it went up 10 times or more of their initial investment or purchase price. They did not get rich off any real business or job.

How long are you willing to wait until you see a return on investment? 10, 20 years? And how old will you be by then? Those are things to think about. Personally I would just invest in realestate such as land, especially where they are going to be building new roads. I am currently doing that now. A friends mom bought land a year ago for $5k and sold it for $10k in just over a years time. If you are patient, just hold onto it for another 5 years if you don't need the money. Why waste your time working to make a business that might not even succeed when you can just have fun while waiting for your land to appreciate.

Do not invest in a hotel or guesthouse. I've seen so many half built hotels cause they either ran out of funding or something. The ones that I do see, there aren't any visitors unless you are right in the middle of the city but to buy land or property there is going to cost you your left nut sack.

If you are really serious about this , you must consult with the expert and the lawyer and study the market and the competitors. Are you Lao citizen or American citizen ? Make sure that the lawyer tell you about the business law in Laos . If you are the American citizen , you should form a new company with 10 partners and each partner with $350,000 USD which is $3,500,000( three and half millions dollars) and then go take the loan from OPIC: Overseas Private Investment Corporation , OPIC will give you a loan 3 times($10,500,000) of the amount of your company investment with low interest rate .But the business must not try to take the jobs away from the American people in the US.( Jao Souvannaphouma ) former Lao prime minister signed the treaty of developing Laos with the American private company on this program long time ago but the Lao government has never used this program . Only Vietnam and Cambodia are using this program today to developed their countries. In order to be qualified with the loan , your business project must provide the jobs to the local Laotian such as invest factories or agriculture and farming . Also China is very close to Laos . Laos is the agriculture country . So to modernize the new way of farming and to get the best result with the new technology like in the US for example Pig farm which is easy to find the market. China should buy all the pig that Laos raise to feed 1,3 billion Chinese. China import billions of dollars in pigs from Mexico every year. If you are interested about the modern pig farm, perhaps we could get together.

That is the mistake again $350,000 X 10 partners=$35,000,000 X 3 times amount of the loan from OPIC = $105,000,000.000 (One hundred and fifty millions dollars ). This would be very big project . If you really have $350,000 and could find 9 Laotian or foreign partners. When you get the loan and the company going then you turn the company to be public company and you could raise the fund by selling the stock .

To all the ideas givers,

I am an owner of this topic and wanting to say Thank You to all of you who gave me the wonderful ideas and information to assist or advice me to do with my future money and business.

My goal is not do business in Laos just fro making money only, in the deep of my heart I want to do something with my money to be use full for Laos especially to Lao people. The way I want to open business to created more jobs for local people to have the jobs to reduce jobless in Laos and helping stop Lao workers go to work in the foreign country.

I am now in the 50 years of my age and with my $350k is giving me very luxury life to live from now to the end of my life if I leave them in my bank account. Beside that when I am retired I will earning $1900.00/month from my social security plus $600.00/month from my pension and $1600.00/month from my 401k and retirement plan.

Thank you.....

I am now in the 50 years of my age and with my $350k is giving me very luxury life to live from now to the end of my life if I leave them in my bank account. Beside that when I am retired I will earning $1900.00/month from my social security plus $600.00/month from my pension and $1600.00/month from my 401k and retirement plan.
Thank you.....
Good luck Brother. I am sure a lot of Lao people in Laos will love you.
Be advice, if you're expecting to get that money by the time you retire, you better vote Obama out of the office in this November general election. otherwise, your money will be gone believe me brother Obama love spend money that do not belong to him.

I can't vote in US and I am Lao citizen . I don't also have the right to vote in Laos for the president and the prime minister . I could only vote for the beauty contest in countryside.

The brother who is going back to Laos ,is lucky .He is the US citizen and has the permit to work and has the right to vote and have the opportunity to go to the good school and gets a good job and capable to safe the money and He could travel to most countries in the world.Now he is going to retired and get the check from the social security and he will go back home with $350,000 to invest in Laos. I am not a US citizen and don't have the work permit and very hard to get a good pay job . I don't think that I will be able to save the money up to $350,000 even I work two jobs 14 hours per day and 7 days per week for the rest of my life. But I still don't want to go back to Laos because nothing for me to do there.I just hope one day , I get the working permit in the US and become the US citizen so I could get a better job and make more money and the most important , I will be able to vote for the president of the United States.

I don't have to worry who's going to be the President or vote for whom? No one have right to touch my money from my bank or from any investment company, plus at the end of October this year will be my 25th year of my services as State police and I can take any time to retire from that time.

Yes are right if you're talking about normal civil occupation, it will be 15 more years to go to get full retire requirement term. He said he could take his retirement any time after the end of October this year. Do you think he is legal residence and have only green card? He's State police for 25 years, I don't think the United States of America would hiring non American citizen to be police.

I am illegal alien with no document. My visa was expired long time ago.

" I don't want to go back to Laos becuase there are no job and no future for me in Laos . "

Really? How come everyone keeps saying how great it is to be in Laos then? Are they lying or maybe they are the corrupt Laos that have all the money, that's why they say everything is good with Laos.

" I am illegal alien with no document. My visa was expired long time ago."

Are you the State police, the owner of this topic or someone else cause there seems to be some confusion here. I don't understand how an illegal alien can become a state police and collect a pension without a valid SSN. If that's the case, you better block your IP address or you might get a knock at your door soon.

I am the owner of this topic and I don't know who wrote " I am illegal alien with no document. My visa was expired long time ago " Nay be someone just want to tell that he/she is illegal alien and his/her visa was expired.

Don't worry my friend, I am 100% America citizen and working for the government as State Police since 1987 when I was 25 years old. I came to the U.S. as Lao refugee in 1980 at age 18 year-young. My age was over to attend in high school at that time I have to go to Adult education center to get my GED in early 1981. A year later after I got my GED, I was studied 2 years at the city community college, and earned associate degree and worked at county jail as part time Jail guard before I became U.S. citizen in 1986. In 1987 I moved up to be full time State Police until present time. After 25 years of my service as policeman I can take any time of my retirement.

It's nice to hear stories about Lao people living outside of Laos are actually making a good life for themselves. I just learned today that asians have now taken over the top spot as being the largest percentage of immigrants to America, we even beat the Mexicans. It also goes to state that asian immigrants are more highly educated and willing to work harder for a better life.

For the dude that is illegal, go find someone to marry your ass.

"Asian median annual household income is $66,000 versus $49,800 for all Americans." This is true cause I make over $70k as an engineer.

Why you want to invest your dollars to kips? if you have that 350k you can retire and do business wherever you are. It's good to do business in Laos, but there's no garantee the business will be yours for the future.

It's because you're families are a bunch of idiots. No matter where they are the idiots will be forever poor and have no future. The Chinese and Vietnamese are dying to move to Laos. The one that successfully made it to Laos are the new millionaires in Laos.

Thank you for your advice sir. In the deep of my heart want to help poor lao people to have income to change their living condition. May be this amount of my money could make thing possible for them. One of my friend, he's Vietnamese and living in Orange County, went to Vietnam with his $300K to open small business in Hochiminh city and now he has 25-30 poor Vietnamese are working for him. He told me Vietnam is communist country but their laws is base on international laws, nothing to worry about. I hope some time soon Laos will be like Vietnam, then many Lao people in oversea would go back to Laos to help poor Lao people to get out of poverty.

Are you in the United states now? If you are you should explain to your family, relaties and friends about living in the states. There's not easy to live in the US anymore, it's not same last 20-30 yaers ago. In the US now is hard to fine a job and Americans are unemployed hit up to 12%. Ask them to stay where thay are, no place like home. Laos is nice country to live, just give time for the governments to do their jobs to turn Laos to right direction. Soon or later Laos will out of poverty and least developed country. Laos is now developing country, believe or not soon or later Laos will be loverly country for all inside Lao people or outside Laos as well.

I am in the United States now . I work two jobs 14 hours a day and 6 days a week for the last 10 years . I am able to send money back to support my family in Laos.I have save a lot of money to pay for my lawyer to help me to get a green card when I get a green card then soon ,I'll have the right to be a citizen and then I will try to get family to be in the United States. In the mean time, I still arrange my families and relative young and healthy one to come to the United States to work hard like I am and save the money and try to become the US the same way that I am doing now. To live in Laos ,there are no future the government is corrupted from top to bottom . Only the people who are the families with the government high ranking officers are rich ,not 5 to 6 millions Laotian who are suffering and poor . Go to Thailand and work are still better than to live in Laos which are no thing to do. The Lao government have never created jobs to Lao only the foreign people ,only foreign company and not enough jobs and the pay is not very good . Chinese companies don't hire Laotian but Chinese worker from China. Work in Thailand pay more then work in Laos and of course working in the United States and European countries are much better than living in Laos. to be in any countries in Europe and United States are better to live in Laos specially for the young people who have no jobs in Laos.

Laos is not a poor country . Laos have a lot of natural resource even Laos is a land lock country. The Laos government and the system in Laos is faile and corrupted system make Laotian and the country poor because lack of well highly educated leaders who is honest and truly willing to dedicate their life and the time to serve the people and the country.The Lao government are not the government by the people and for the people so they don't care about the people but themselve , their party and their familis. There are only corrupted high ranking officers be bribed by the Chinese and the Vietnamese to get the projects. Laos will never be out from poverty as long as the corrupted leader and government are still running the country.

Of course, the Chinese and Vietnamese are dying to move to Laos to take over and to conquer . How many Chinese and Vietnamese are trying to come to the United States every years . So you are an idiot , not us . There are a lot of Laotian kids have better opportunity to be in college and get better education than Lao kids in Laos. But the Children in the United States even they are illegal alien the US government is still providing medical care and good education unlike in Laos only the rich could get good education. So who is a real idiot ? You are rich because your family are powerful in the government . Perhaps rich from stolen country money or sold the Lao people out.

Stop making excuses for lazy people. There are Lao people in the US and the West and yet there are poor Lao. It's not the system. It's the individual's lifestyle and habit. There are Vietnamese and Chinese making a million in Laos.

The same is true with the Chinese and Vietnamese community in the US. Most of Lao-American businesses are own and operated by Chinese and Vietnamese of Lao origins.
