TLDR : Answer Summary

An Italian expat holding a multiple-entry non-B visa can travel to Vientienne, Laos. Despite recent border restrictions, the consensus in the comments is that the non-B visa remains valid for travel. However, travelers should monitor changing regulations as the situation evolves.

There is no exemptions to extending a multiple entry non-B visa. Laos should be fine to bounce out of.

Yes, the visa is still valid, and therefore can be used as normal.
