15 Day Border Stamp For Everyone?

[joka]

I am wondering if a Burmese citizen with passport will also only get a two week stamp at the border, say Sadao. On another note, what is happening at Mae Sot with visa border runs?

I would suspect that since Burma/Myanmar is part of ASEAN, it would like other ASEAN countries where their citizens get 30 days.

I believe you will find there is no visa exempt entry for Burma (or Myanmar).

That's what I am worried about...

Burmese citizens have to get a Visa as far as I know.

Air travel requires a visa for nationals of Burma according to IATA, guess land travel also does.

Excuse me if I'm not being a complete 100% moron here but what is a Mae Sot? The Mae Sai think I did hear about thru a friend about 7 years ago or more. He said that was some deal where a dude could cross a border into Myanmar (wft this Burma thing is yet another question I'm clueless about. My wife who lives in a place called kiri kan dont even know what this Burma thing is either). any help is appreciated. Is there a reason people go to this place? like to get some scam stamp or something cause they cant get a regualar normal visa? sorry to ask idiot questions but I really dont know. I only know bodia, Malaysia, singapore, Laos and such. After reading crazy news about this other "country" that pops up in the news, I never bothered to check into it think that maybe it's like afganistan or some such manure. thank you in advance to clear up my stupidity

dun really get what u'r trying to say. Mae Sot is at Western Thailand..about 2hrs bus ride from Ching Mai..If you'r foreigner, you shouldnt have problem crossing via land and get 15days. but if u'r holding myanmar passport, there is no way you can cross via land and get 15day.s

OK, thanks, looks like the consensus is no 15 day visa on arrival for Burmese citizens. Looks like a trip to Penang then. Anybody have any experience with Burmese nationals and tourist visas in Penang?
