CRUNCHER Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 What is the current situation for tourist visas (arriving by air) to Myanmar?. Is there visa on arrival or e-visa available? Internet searches produce confusing results. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Visa on arrival ONLY if your flying from Siem Rep or Phnom Phen on Burmese airlines, all other u need apply for a visa in Advance You can use a visa on arrival pre approval service ( u can google them) and it costs like $75. I cant vouch for these guys but....https://www.myanmarvisa.com/ Given that if u get the same day service in Bangkok (1,200 baht+) an add on needing to stay a night, taxi's, food etc not to bad a deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Can I get a visa for Burma via EMS postal service? I'm an American residing in Chiang Rai.
