Yangon Non-O report

[candoman89]

Ok so I went to get a 1-year Non-O multiple entry married  to a  Thai visa  from  Yangon at the beginning of the month.  

 

Arrived on 2 March intending to go to the embassy on the 3rd but it turned out to be a holiday (peasants holiday) so Embassy closed (no problem because I was in no hurry).

 

Went  to the embassy on the 4th around 9 am and  submitted paperwork which included:

• application formed which specified multiple entries
• Copy of info page and latest entry to Myanmar
• Copy of marriage certificate
• Copy of bankbook showing >400,000 Baht in Bank
• Copy of wife's ID card
• Copy of wife's name change
• Copy of wife's Tabien Baan

 

The only page that was signed was the  application.

 

They asked me to come back in the afternoon and pay if  everything was ok.

 

Don't know if the documents submitted were sufficient or extra because they didn't ask  any questions.

 

came back around 2 pm and  they said everything was ok BUT they would only give me a single entry 90 day non-O and they don't give out multiple entry anymore.

Paid  my $80

Came  back the next day and  picked it up.

 

All in  all it was an easy experience except its only single entry 90 days

 

Yangon (and  then Bagan) were great and uncrowded.

I also need a non-o, thinking of going to Yangon. So your info is useful.

 

Are you a UK national? I am too - no worries getting in and out?

Foreign or Thai?

When Vietnam opens it borders to westerners again, you can get a 12 month Multi Non O from the consulate in HCMC easily with no financial requirements. Luckily I got mine there on 4 March before they 'closed' their borders.

 

I believe Laos is still open to foreigners and apparently the requirements are much the same there.
