TLDR : Answer Summary

In the meantime I recommend u go Pakse (Bolaven plateau), it's a nice motorbike ride (but can be very cold).

On a side note.

What are the various ways and costs to go to Laos embassy after crossing the border (immigration).?

If you apply for the visa, you must pick it up the next day. Otherwise they will void the visa.

You apply for the visa day 1 and pick it up the next working day in the afternoon. Your choice of day when to apply.
