Will my hotel reservation suffice as proof of current location when applying in Vientiane, Laos?

In Vientiane, Laos, they require a "Document Indicating current Location." Do you know if my hotel reservation will work for this? At the moment of application, my current Location is Laos.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry revolves around whether a hotel reservation can act as a 'Document Indicating Current Location' required for visa applications in Laos. Several comments suggest that a hotel booking, along with a copy of the Laos entry stamp and Visa On Arrival, may fulfill the requirements for the application.

Where are they asking for this? Are you talking about eVisa or are you applying in person?

I am applying in person. It's on their list of requirements.

Thank you!

Where did you find this list? I didn‘t see this requirement on their website.

It‘s kind of amazing though they‘re asking for a proof of current location when you’re applying in person… and you’re standing right in front of them. 😅

Yes. The list is available on their website. It's just sometimes you have to take a wild guess on what something's actually mean.

#3 on this sheet from Savannakhet

At BOTH consulates you need to copy your Lao Visa On Arrival, your Lao entry stamp, and use the hotel you're staying at as your address in Lao on the application when you apply

Ok thanks!

So it‘s not on the list on the Vientiane website though after all.

you still copy your Lao VOA, your entry stamp and use the hotel you're staying at as the address IN Lao when you apply

A copy of your Laos entry stamp will do.
