When they are talking about back to back tourist Visa problems, if I go for a 15 day land crossing and then apply for a single entry in Vientiane am I better off, does the 15 days crossing mean my Tourists Visa's are not back to back, or should I try to get a single again instead? I live in Nong Khai and have had many Visas. Thanks

Believe the policy (subject to change often) is no visa period if they see three or more (over the last year?) and having visa exempt between them would make no difference. If you don't get the visa you should be able to return on visa exempt. Some have said Savannakhet is a better choice if you have a number of visas in your passport.
