visa run myanmar / non imm b multiple entry

[clairerosemont]

hi community,

i'm planning of going to yangoon for a visa run as i will need a new non immigrant b visa.

does anyboday have any recent experience with the embassy? couldn't find any recent reports on that matter.

also, i was wondering about the required documents, as written on their homepage:

FOR SINGLE ENTRY (WORK PERMIT)

1. Copy of passport and 2 recent photographs

2. Approval letter from Ministry of Labour (if any) --for this document, please ask your employer to send

a request note to M. of Labour of Thailand to acquire it.

3. Employment letter from Company

4. Employment contract

5. Company registration/tax payment/share holders lists

6. Company's map

7. Your resume (education background/work experience)

8. Visa fee is 80 USD

FOR MULTIPLE ENTRIES

1. Copy of passport and 2 recent photographs

2. Request letter (to specify why the applicant need multiple entries)

3. Business profile

4. Company registration

5. CV of the applicant

6. Financial evidences i.e. bank account, properties ownership

7. Visa fee is 200 USD

>> why wouldn't I need a work permit for multiple entries? or can I only apply to multiple entries as soon as I already have a work permit? but then i would alreaday have a non immigrant b visa... sounds confusing to me...

thanks for your help!

Any reason why you have chosen Myanmar? Vientiane, Laos would be the usual choice for a non 'B'.

• Non 'B' visas can be issued for work or business. If issued for work a work permit is required before you can work. A work permit is not needed to conduct business.

1, Is if you are working.

2. Is for business which you are unlikely to get unless you are working for a company in Myanmar. It would be for traveling to here on regular basis for business purposes.

If you want a multiple entry visa the only location that does them is Penang if you have a work permit valid for at least 8 months. All others only do single entry visas.
