How to get your visa on arrival in Myanmar ? Forms and procedure.



Important :

As many are already aware, the capital from Myanmar is moving from Yangon to Pyaymana (8 hours drive north).

Until today (11 January 2008), there is no change for the visa on arrival procedure.

It may change in March, and we could have to go to Pyaymana to ask the authorization. In that case, we will stop to propose the visa on arrival service.

Currently :

Myanmar government has recently increased the delay to get a visa on arrival clearance.
You have to wait at least 4 weeks before getting the answer of the Immigration.

- 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, try to get a visa on arrival via a travel agent or Ananda Travels.
- We do not recommend to use the government visa to get electronic visa on line. We had report of many problems
and we can not do anything about it if you start a procedure on their web site.


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 4 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.

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.
