No..

The first days of the new orders the Laos border points told people not to exit as they could not exit and re-enter the same day. That was incorrect applications of the new rules and has now stopped.

Can I do a same-day border bounce through Chiang Khong on a DTV Visa?

Sefton ********

Keep asking for very recent info or call some of the visa run people.

Last few days people on DTVs (and unclear but I think also ME tourist visas) were refused border bounces at Laos.

@Wannikea ********

Unsure if they have fixed that. Multiple reports.

Which city should I apply for a visa: Hanoi, Taipei, or KL, considering my contractor job and Muay Thai school?

Sefton ********

Employed (contractor ok) with payslips / proof with a letter stating ability to work 100% remote, plus 500k in the bank, is about the most locked down sure thing I feel.

You want either a portfolio or a strong letter of engagement from your client.
