Can you go to Myanmar to get a 60 day visa from Chiang Mai? I am a US citizen... this stuff is confusing and trying to find an ED visa in Muay Thai here in CM if anyone has done that before:-/ my husband (_also US) and I are trying to figure everything out before our current ED visa expires dec 21st ... any advice would be super awesome and I would be very grateful.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen can travel to Myanmar to obtain a 60-day tourist visa. To do this, one option is to fly to Yangon and apply for the visa at the Thai consulate for 40 USD. This visa can be stamped for 60 days upon re-entry to Thailand, extendable for an additional 30 days. Alternatively, you can visit the Mae Sai-Tachiliek border, stamp out of Thailand, and then back in to receive a 30-day visa exempt entry stamp, which can also be extended for 30 days at an immigration office.
