Is it possible to get visa to stay in Myanmar ?

[wangotango]

Hi there, 

I am finding it very hard to get any information regarding my situation,the embassy in Bangkok doesn't even answer the phone. I am going to Myanmar around 14th November probably on e-visa. My partner is from Myanmar and she is returning there after a few years in Thailand. We were hoping to start a small business in Myanmar. Is this even possible ? Can I get a visa to stay in Myanmar? We are prepared to marry if necessary. Any info or link to info would be greatly appreciated. I am an Australian and British citizen.

 

bye for now, wangotango

of course;

IF ur married legally u can get a long term visa ( a good friend of mine is married with kids and has one )

he lives in Mandalay

 

IF ur working for a business or teaching, u can get a business visa, this means u have a year visa but usually u need laeve every 70 days.

Thanks mate,

   Next dumb question  Can we get married in Myanmar ? or do we have to return to Thailand get married then go back to Myanmar and apply for visa.

get married wherever u want to

BUT why would u chose to marry a Burmese in Thailand?

In Burma contact immigration and ask them
