Hello all.

Is Yangon the only place in Myanmar I can apply for a SETV? I need to do a border run and would prefer to get the setv opposed to visa on arrival/exemption.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The only place in Myanmar where you can apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) is in Yangon, as it is the only Thai consulate there. However, if you are currently in Thailand, there are other options for obtaining a 30-day Visa Exempt Entry. Several border run companies operate in Hua Hin, and they may offer trips to the Phu Nam Ron border for this purpose.

And there are more then enough ways to get a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry stamp, or a plan to leave to apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa.

Then the thinking starts how to stay long time, you know the options, you have to decide what to do. We can only tell you the differences, advice what in your case the best one is, but after that, you decide,

Safe travels tomorrow or the day after, If you have any further questions about specific visa, feel free to open a new topic.

He lives in Hua Hin, why not just contact a border run company in that town and make a day trip to the Phu Nam Ron border to Myanmar, just before or on the 5th of Feb to get a new 30 days Visa Exempt Entry?

I'm not sure if they offer trips to the Malaysian Border, but that you will find out soon enough if you walk into an office in town.

No, I give advice. You ask as a young man not married, hopefully not working for a long time visa. Only option is the Thai Elite Visa. it is you, who has to decide how much you love Thailand and like to stay here or has to search for other options.

I typed Visa run service Hua Hin and I got enough options in Google. Good luck, you have to do something, time to worry about the best option in Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visa becomes late, but you might find a flight tomorrow to KL. Good luck.

Kanchanaburi seems like the way to go my only concern is making it more difficult to get a setv later on....
