Ah, OK, so this is what matters to me. So e-visa is just a small (-ish) entry and exit stamps, without a full page visa sticker, right? If so, that's a decisive factor to me. Can you (or anyone else who used Laos electronic visa) confirm this? TIA.
Unless something changed in recent years, visa on arrival is a full page sticker PLUS then also entry and exit stamps, so a page and a half just for Laos, which by itself can be a sufficient reason to avoid it for some.
