TLDR : Answer Summary
There is no specific rule for the optimal duration for re-entry on a Workcation DTV visa. However, many users suggest spending at least one night abroad to ensure a smooth re-entry process. Some anecdotes mentioned quick bounces of a few minutes, but a safer bet might be to stay longer than a day.

I was in Laos for 1-2minutes last time (last week), landborder 🤣 and my first bounce to cambodia was less than a minute since arrival and departure boots were next to each other. Second bounce to vientiane was a bit longer because I drank 1 chang at Laos side
