HamonRye Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 We got behind schedule in Myanmar visiting family in Karen state, and waiting for our India visas. Is it no big deal to overstay say...10 to 15 days here? Just pay the money when you leave and all ok? Is it $3 a day or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbc Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 No but they prefer us dollars and they should be in good condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerkinsCuthbert Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 From the lack of replies here of a coherent and non-offensive nature, it might be better to put your question on a Myanmar-focused BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Google the subject and you'll see that the first 90 days are USD 3/day, after which it increases to USD 5/daily. Wondering though why you dont get a visa extension like anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also on bikes and just got our India visas which for some reason start when you get them, not when you arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lot of things, yes, and certainly anything visa related, all those fees are set in USD, as they are in many countries. It may have changed at this stage but when I was there a few years back there were a lot of things you needed to pay dollars for and they would not take kyat. Then it was around 50/50 dollars vs kyat. It's not like Cambodia where 95% of the economy including locals is in USD but more a situation where foreign visitors have to pay dollars for certain things, like train tickets for foreigners had to be paid in USD as did most guesthouses. Many other countries this stuff is set in USD, I have always paid dollars for visas and extensions in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam as well, and the overstay fines in Laos and Cambodia are also specified in USD.

Mahseer Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The overstay isn't an issue and $3/day is correct but a problem you may run into is the booking of hotels as they may see you as being illegally in the country. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then leave and re-enter; the rules are written by the host country and not by the visitors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahseer Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 One question that hasn't been answered is what happens if you are on overstay and get nicked. Do you get penalised twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
