Perhaps get you Lao wife to contact the Lao Embassy for information. There is a need for insurance and if bringing it in permanently there may be an import duty to pay. Being right hand drive makes driving in Laos a challenge!

Have you thought of selling it and buying over in Laos.

your right with the import duty, this is all too much. probably sell and buy a used car in lao.

Good idea as the paperwork and the hassle is not worth it. Plenty of used cars for sale in Vientiane.
