Hello Everyone-
I am a U.S. citizen currently in Chiang Mai. I have a 60-day SETV and a 30-day extension. I am planning to fly to Yangon to apply for a new 60-day SETV. I am curious as to why most people who submit posts regarding visa-run flights to neighbor countries seem to be going to Vientiane. I chose Yangon because it is less expensive than flying to Laos. Am I missing something here??? Are there any problems that I don’t know about concerning getting a new visa from the Thai Consulate in Yangon? I know that in Vientiane they apparently don’t require proof of onward travel. Is this true also in Yangon? Any advice would be appreciated! I can fly to either location, if necessary.
Thanks, DB~
