Hello, I hold a Myanmar passport and I am planning to apply for the DTV cooking class in Laos. I have two questions regarding the proof of accommodation:

1. Does the accommodation need to be booked for 14 days, or is 7 days acceptable?

2. Are Airbnb bookings accepted, or do they only accept reservations from platforms like Agoda or Booking.com?

Can you pay at border for visa to enter laos ?

Is it worth getting a Laos EVisa or is it simple enough to get a visa on arrival at the friendship bridge border Nongkhai to Vientiane

Any advice on using a Bangkok bank card in an ATM in Laos? Is it possible - does one have to "activate" it beforehand, if so can this be done at an ATM machine in Thailand or does one need to visit a bank. Planning on traveling and may need to draw or pay with my card.

Much appreciated in advance.
