Visa Advice / Myanmar

[Chelseafan]

Hi

I've tried to use the E-Visa system to get a tourist visa for Myanmar but no matter what I try, I can't get the photo to upload correctly, so screw that, I'm going to send my passport off to the embassy in London.

As I understand it all I need to send is

The passport, A copy of the picture page,  A copy of my flight details, A copy of my hotel booking, 2 photo's, Self addressed Envelope, £35 cash or postal order, The application form.

Is this correct as it the website states

a letter from current employer confirming employment 

I can get this but it would be a pain in the backside to get so do I need this ?

 

Does anyone know how long it takes to get the passport back as I will be travelling to Thailand in 4 weeks. I assume I can use the visa to travel from Bangkok to Yangon?

Alternatively I think I can do a visa on arrival (with the above documentation) how easy is this ?

Thanks in advance.

You could get the Myanmar visa in bkk. Looks like it's a 48 hour process or maybe pay a bit more fir a 1 day process. Lot of info on TripAdvisor.
