We are currently in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry, but since arriving have received our DTV visas. If we go to Laos to re-enter using those visas, do we need to stay the two nights required by a border bounce? Or should we be able to reenter immediately since we have a valid visa. Thanks for any help you can offer!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry about re-entering Thailand immediately after obtaining DTV visas from Laos indicates that it's generally permissible to return without staying the required two nights, as this is not considered a border bounce but rather activating a valid visa. Comments confirm that while some borders may have specific overnight rules, if using other border crossings, such as Chiang Khong, re-entry can be done the same day without issues.
