Mudcrab Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) I get a business visa on arrival regularly, takes a bit of paperwork 50 USD in US dollars. Have a look online about visa on arrival for tourists. Same price I believe - check the Myanmar embassy website Bangkok - all the details are there. From memory you can get it online as well so you don't have the hassle at the airport when you arrive. Edited July 8, 2016 by Mudcrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I walked around to the Myanmar Consulate in Chiang Mai, and picked up an application form for a visa. Seemed a lot cheaper than the costs detailed in their Embassy site. E Visa is only available if you're flying in to the bigcities. Driving over the border from Chiang Mai needs the paper application, photo etc. Cost about U$50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The OP is asking about getting a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Yangon not a visa for Myanmar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickSee Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Are there any further developments on this topic? A friend (Italian Passport holder) is interested in getting a single entry tourist visa for Thailand while in Yangon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbts2 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yes I got one no problem in July. Just need to fill out the application, have flight ticket confirmations into and out of Thailand, and 2 brand new US $20 bills. Turnaround next afternoon. Much less crowded than Vientiane. I like this embassy and Myanmar so much I am going back in January to get another. Nok Air and Air Asia have great deals to Yangon often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this embassy and Myanmar so much I am going back in January to get another. Nok Air and Air Asia have great deals to Yangon often.I'd like to try this for a visa as well. I'll have the flight back into Thailand booked no problem, but as with many I won't have a flight back out as i might take a bus. I read the embassy site which said.5. confirmed round trip air ticket or hotel reservation/accommodation reference (for travelling through border)Is this a over night booking in, let's say, Phnom Penh at the exit date? Easier than a airline ticket refund. Are there agents there?CheersSent from my mobile, please forgive the autocorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masuk Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm told that e-visas are now ok for all border crossings, not only flights into the bigger cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The e-visa can only be used at 3 border crossings. Mae Sai, Mae Sot and Ranong are the crossings where they can be used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess just because it's only really been an option in the last couple of years. Hotels used to be silly prices in yangon, nothing under $100 US a night. I just went and got a non B in yangon a week ago. Plenty of cheap places to stay of booking.com. Much less queues at the embassy than Vientianne and dirt cheap once you get there.

Mickster58 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Has anyone been to Yangon recently to get a SETV? If so was the processing time only 1 day or was it 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, you don't need a visa to enter Myanmar, every time I went to Mae Sai they just stamped me in (I think I paid 500 baht). Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? Thanks To enter a border-area (for a Thai border-bounce) you can get a border pass. But to fly into Yangoon (or travel beyond a border area), you need a Myanmar Visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If going further into Myanmar you need a visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
