Love this group! Husband and i got DTV with the help of this group for remote work. USA Passports. This is our first re-entry.

Flew to Laos Aug 23 (after 180 days in TH) and been having a beautiful time in Laos for the last month (Vang Vieng mostly, gorgeous place highly recommend for digital nomads)

We extended our Lao visa 1 more week to celebrate my husbands bday on Sep 24th and coming home a few days after that via flight Vientiane-Bangkok.

I have my DTV stamped in my passport and husband has his in his printed. Anything we should prepare or expect? 🧐@Just wondering cuz it’s the first “border hop” even tho we’ll have been in lao 5 weeks.

Also coming back to Lao again mid November when the husbands grandparents visit😄

Yes yes I’ve searched thru this sub just would love to to know advice for our specific situation first re-entry😇
