As I understand, Laos will suspend visa upon arrival from tomorrow (Friday) and require tourists to apply for a visa at an embassy or online before they travel. However, the evisa website is updated with the attached. So basically, unless you can get a Laos visa from the embassy, no more border or visa runs to Laos until at least the 20th April...

Summary so far

Laos has suspended its visa on arrival policy and now requires tourists to apply for a visa at an embassy or online before traveling, causing concerns about the validity of already approved e-visas.

I believe the eVisa is still valid, but you'd find out when you use it
