Business as usual with the visa run to Laos? Any changes in the past year?  I haven't been over the border there in nearly a year and am heading that way tonight (arrive in Vientiane tomorrow early) USA passport, applying for a 60 day TR visa.

Answer summary

The recent inquiries show that visa runs to Laos remain straightforward, with no significant changes reported in the last year. A user plans to apply for a 60-day TR visa after reaching Vientiane, Laos, and another commenter confirmed a successful border experience, though mentioning that US passport holders should verify embassy hours as they vary.
