Waiting for your re-entry permit? Normally, a visa stipulates single entry or multiple entry - i.e., if single entry, you need a new visa to enter again.
Single entry visas are issued upon arrival in Laos to foreign tourists at only three border crossings.
You will need two passport size photographs and $30 at Wattay Airport (Vientiane); Friendship Bridge (Vientiane); and Luang Prabang Airport. Visas on Arrival are not available at the Chong Mek border crossing.
Foreign tourists are generally admitted to Laos for 15 days with a visa on arrival or for 30 days with a visa issued at a Lao embassy.
Note that when I tried a visa on arrival at Friendship Bridge, they cheated on the exchange rate. USD 30 became 1,500 baht. This compares to a price at the embassy in Bangkok of 900 baht (more expensive if urgent).
If you have the time, I therefore recommend that you arrange your Lao visa at an embassy. It will take 2-3 business days.

Visas at the Lao border are simple and easy. Have extra photos with you. it will simplify the transaction. No worries mate.

Better to get visa on embassy.... really depends on nationality.
