Rsteeltje Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 It seems that visa on arrival is possible but according to my travel agent you need to prepare a lot of documents. He did not say which! Did anyone tried this recently and what is needed to get a visa on arrival? Thanks R'tje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGabs Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I've been in Burma but crossing in Mae Sot only for the day. I don't know where you go there but this is the information that I know. Check if the frontier is open, You only need your passport, go directly to the immigration office in the bridge, you must pay 500 bath (maybe 300 bath not clear) they keep your passport in the office. the border closes at 18:00 but better be there 16:00 it's very busy and annoying in the afternoon The people there speak not english or bad english. In the Bridge you can get some day trip tour around Burma per day around 700 800 bath Motorcicle Taxi in Burma is around 100 bath per hour Nice Temples, Markets and people around. You can buy everything in Bath but close to the bridge (Myanmar side) you can change in the street Currently foreigners may only enter on foot, are not allowed to travel further overland into Myanmar from Myawaddy, and are not permitted to stay in Myawaddy overnight, hence they must head back to Mae Sot before the border closes at 18:00. Despite these restrictions, the Myawaddy - Mae Sot border crossing is a moderately popular destination for tourists and expats in Thailand who want to make a "visa run" (i.e. get a new Thai entry permit stamp by making a short visit to another country). The time in Myawaddy is 30 minutes earlier than in Mae Sot, and the traffic (mostly) drives on the right. more info: http://wikitravel.org/en/Myawaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippydedodah Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 have you tried google? http://www.myanmarvisa.com/ is the first one at the top of the list...then there are pages listed from various govts, advising their citizens on requirements - i guess your passport country can affect your visa issues. try doing a little research.

simon43 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Visa on Arrival is currently only available for business travellers, ie those who have supporting documents for employment in Myanmar, or business visitors, ie those who have supporting documents for business meetings/conferences in Myanmar Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
