Visa letter reply received today, what you need...

1. Have a passport with at least 6 months validity,

2. Have sufficient funds for the period of stay in Myanmar, and

3. Have confirmed onward / return air ticket(s).

Which is a pity, I was hoping to leave overland back into Thailand, though flights don't cost much so might just have a return and not use the return flight.

re 3. They are not asking for this at immigration on arrival as a matter of course Paddy.(They are not even asking for #2)

On arrival at Yangon airport, if questioned then tell them you are planning to travel & exit overland, or have not booked your outbound flight yet. I can't offer you anything official to support this, but it is certainly the case for any international arrivals into Yangon Airport.

PM me if you want more info.

Thanks, I suspected it might not be such a big deal, think I'll risk it then.

Ta v much

Applied just now, easy. Only thing was the postal code input box only took numbers so I made a note in the address box. Fingers crossed

Conformation email was sent back straight away.
