Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help, I'm heading to Bangkok in a few days and then I want to travel on to Burma. I was hoping to fly and spend a few days there.
I'm on a tight time scale though so wondered if anyone had any advice on the quickest way to get a visa? How long it might take, how much it might cost etc? We've been told that the visa might take longer because we are British - is that right?!

If anyone has any advice on the best places to go whilst we're there I'd be grateful!!!

Thanks x

Hello Teresa

Since you are going to Bangkok, you could try the travel agents on the Khao San Road. I dont know if anything has changed, but they at least used to be able to get tourists visas for Burma quickly.

I dont know how much it costs, or if it will take longer because you are British.

You could also try www.visa.gov.mm to get an online visa. I dont know if online visas are still available.
