TyGrr Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hello visa experts, This is a two part question. First as an American who wants to spend 15 days in Myanmar do I need a visa? I will be flying into Mandalay from Bangkok. Second can I enter Thailand from the Shan state up in Mae Sai, I have the Thai Elite 20 year visa. I have used this post before but never when not entering here. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot get visa on arrival in Myanmar. Beware there is a link on office embassy website that directs you to a travel agency asking $110USD. Both my cards kicked the transaction back declined look under border runs there is the correct link in that area. As for the second part of question I see no reason you would have issues but ask Ubonjoe to make sureSent from my SM-J250F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I have a TE visa and work in Myanmar. I see no reason at all why you cannot legally enter Thailand from Myawaddy/Mae Sai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
