Nah he is lying. No way a land ownership transfer for a 30x20 meter piece of land would cost that much. As I said, that could easily be the total price of the land in many parts of Laos, short from the populous areas.

And it is certainly not needed for him to be able to visit you. You are just the foreigner agreeing to pick up the tab. Rest assured that money is not only being used to pay for the transfer. And it is most definitely not needed for him to visit you in Australia.

But hey if you are happy giving that money to him, go right ahead. He isn't telling the whole truth that much is certain.
