How am I supposed to do the Laos LDIF (like the DTAC) but for Laos, if the website is broken? Any alternative way? I'm guessing it's not the only day that it bug like this so some of you might have gone through this.

And for others who may not know, it's a requirement since September 1 upon crossing to Laos in Nong Khai, + Laos top 3 main airport (to need arrival + departure LDIF filled online).

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking alternative methods for completing the Laos LDIF form due to issues with the official website, which is reported to be broken. Other users suggest that it is still possible to fill out a paper form at the border until December 31. Additionally, experiences indicate that filling out the form upon arrival may also be acceptable, despite the recent requirement for online submission.

I know that I can, until December 31, still fill it at the border (paper), instead of online. But I would rather save time if possible.
