I was wondering if its possible to obtain a multiple entry 12 month visa for Laos.
Cambodia its simply a matter of paying the fee.
What is the process in Laos?
Laos is offering Visa on arrival at the border crossing and at the airport. If you travel by bus from bangkok, you may not allowed to use the Nongkhai-Vientiane bus without a s Visa (they just dont want t o wait for you). So take a tuktuk to the border, get the visa and get a taxi or tuktuk to the city then.
12 months multiple entry visas are only offered to people with a Lao work permit, their spouses, to investors and diplomats. It is not that easy to get as it is in Cambodia.
