Visa on arrival - 21 August 2010
This is an information not yet confirm, but seems solid. We will have more detailled information Monday 23rd August 2010.
It seems that the visa on arrival without pre-approval will be suspended from 1st September to the next election in November.
So it means that tourist will not be able to get their visa on arrival in Yangon, and must request a visa in advance.
For what we know at today (21-08-2010), it seems that the old procedure of visa of arrival (request approval in advance via a local travel agent) will continue normally.
If you are planning a journey in Myanmar in September, it should be preferable to start to ask a visa in a Myanmar Embassy or a visa on arrival via at travel agent in Myanmar.
Update 27 May 2010.
The Myanmar Government has started the 1st of May 2010 a new visa on arrival procedure.
It means there is now two different kind of visa on arrival.
- Visa on arrival with advance approval (it means you get your authorization in advance), detailled infos below.
- Visa on arrival WITHOUT any advance approval (new procedure starting 1st May 2010, detailled infos : (read carefully and keep
in mind that you will get or NOTyour visa on arrival. Your visa may be refused with this procedure).
Important -update : 5 January 2010
The delay to get a visa on arrival has been increase to three weeks minimum (office days), we recommend not to wait the last minute....
- If you can get a visa in a Myanmar embassy, do it, this is the most simple and secure way.
- If you can not get a visa in a Myanmar embassy because you do not have a Myanmar Embassy or it is very difficult to get a visa, try to get a visa on arrival via a travel agent or Ananda Travels.
- It is not because you apply for a visa on arrival that you will get it. Sometimes the government refuse the visa on arrival.

Visa on arrival procedure is very straigthforward, not
expensive (70 USD per people),
but you must follow
it carefully :
1 - You fill up a form (cf below) to ask for an "Visa
on Arrival authorization.
2 - The minimum delay to get an answer from the Myanmar Immigration
office is three weeks (accepted or rejected).
Be careful with this official delay, it can be longer (Myanmar holidays or any other reason), so
apply for your visa on arrival as soon as possible. If the visa is rejected, the government gives no reason and as Travel Agent we can do absolutely nothing.
3 - You MUST carry with you the authorisation
of "visa on arrival" that we will fax or email to
you.
You will show it at the boarding of the plane - as you have
no visa on your passport
4 - A guide from our company and from the Government will
wait you before the Immigration to help you to fill the forms
and to get your visa.
