Tourist Visa in Yangon (Myanmar)

[Javi0567]

Hello.

I am going to Yangon the next 29th to get a tourist visa. Anybody Know how long does it take?

The 29th is Thursday, and I'm arriving early in the morning, so if it only takes one day, I will be able to come back the 30th if not, I will have to stay there for the weekend.

Thanks in advance.

You need to apply before 11 am and you pick it up the next afternoon at 2 pm.

They also do 2 entry tourist visas if you want one.

ok, Thank you very much ubonjoe.

I'm landing at Yangon airport at 8am. I have to go to the hotel for the check in first (i need my pasport for it) and then going to the Thai embassy before 11am

So, I will be able to come back the 30th in a late flight.

Thanks again

Another question.

Do you know if in Yangon are they going to ask me for all the in and out flight tickets when I apply for the double entry tourist visa?

[ubonjoe]

From reports I have read they do not ask for tickets.

Thanks again ubonjoe.

Hello. Who knows exactly what is going on at Yangon Embassy? I went last Thursday and last Friday (29th and 30th) and asked for a double tourist entry visa.

They told me that from now, the double entry tourist visa, DOESN'T allow you to stay 60 +30 days, then go out and come in again and have another 60 +30 days.

They told me that the double entry visa, just let you go out from Thailand once and come back using your remaining days.

I asked to the 3 different women on the counter, cause I was a bit shocked and I thought I didnt understand right what they told me. But the 3 of them told me the same thing.

Is this just at Yangon Embassy or what?

Thanks in advance.

It is confusing reading what you are saying. You only get 1 entry after you exit the second crossing. Get the double, enter Thailand(#1) 60+30 extension you do a land crossing (#2 Enter before date) and return for another 60 +30. They do not have different types of double entry tourist visas. 180 days(Or like me if your married 220 days.) I was curious about Myanmar myself its a lot closer than Laos for me.

Sorry BigRick my English is not very good.

What I am saying is that the 180 days Tourist Visa are no longer available at Yangon Embassy. They provide you one (60 +30) and you can leave the country once and come back, but you still have just the 60 +30.

Ahh ok so they are issuing single entry tourist visas. I live next to Myanmar and will most likely have to do that trip in a couple of months. I know its a big pain in the ass traveling there and from what I understand if you are a Westerner expensive and inconvenient with currency. I only cross over the border and there is nothing there.
