mowgus Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Has anyone recently applied for a Tourist visa in Yangon? I found a site that said it can be done but it's about a year old and I know how things can change. http://migrationology.com/2011/05/thai-visa-in-yangon-burma-myanmar/ Unfortunately the Thai Embassy site for Yangon is lacking info (ha, no surprise there). I'm going to be travelling in Myanmar for a couple of weeks (starting Dec 19) and thought I'd start off in Yangon, primarily to apply for a new Thai visa. If I can get a visa, double entry possible? Much appreciated!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think I recall reading that TVF has a forum now on Burma, maybe 2 months ago I saw this. I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look around. I did some searches and found nothing but travel tips....which will be helpful but not what I'm looking for I just noticed at the bottom of some pages here other portals, but they are all places in Thailand, Chaing Mai, Phuket, etc. so now I'm wondering where I saw what? Im still thinking it had to do with TVF and Burma, for some reason, but I may be totally off track here, and apologize for that. Mario or Lopburi would be more knowledgeable than me.

bangkokburning Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Actually there eas voa but they yanked it. Too problematic for the mafia govt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 VOA (Visa on Arrival) is available, but the government web portal isn't operational. There are several companies which can arrange this for you, but there are fees involved. If you are going to be in Bangkok for a few days, it will be cheaper to go and apply for a tourist visa yourself. Cheapest is a second day turn-around costing THB810. Next day collection costs THB1050 For same day express issue (you will need to show your flight details, or have a good explanation as to why you need a same-day issue) the cost is THB1240 There is a dedicated Myanmar forum here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/forum/165-myanmar-forum/ There are Visas and Travel sub-forums, and plenty of useful information. Also the mods on the Myanmar Forums are awesome. If you still need a VOA (eg it is not convenient or possible for you to get to Bangkok to arrange yourself, or you don't have time) - then PM me for the details of a company which I use. They are Yangon based and reliable - and they can arrange a Visa On Arrival for you to be waiting at Yangon airport. Cost is USD$70 cheers SVB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 mowgus - just saw in your OP that you will also be applying for a Thailand tourist visa in Yangon. I have had several issued there - recently been getting double entry 60 days without a problem. If you PM me, I'll send you their details and a copy of the form you will need. cheers SVB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyperdimension Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Does the Yangon embassy offer visas with 6 month validity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Only a 2 entry with 90 days validity. The nearest place to get a 3 entry with 6 months validity is Bali. Edited November 21, 2012 by ubonjoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Had a few PM's regarding this. I am attaching the actual Thailand Tourist Visa form given to me by the Thai Embassy in Yangon.

Copy of previous passport (if any) Additional documents for applicant who has had extension of stay or many entries to Thailand 1. letter of employment (for employee) or 2. company registration (for business owner) or 3. Guarantee/invitation letter from company in Thailand *Please also note that Consular Officer reserves the right to request addition documents or interview as necessary* Office hours: 9.00 - 11.00 hrs.
