Hey TVA,

Does anyone have recent experience with getting at SETV at the Yangon consulate?

My current visa exemption runs out next week and I’ve been thinking that it’d would be nice to head to Myanmar for a week or so, as I’ve yet to visit the country, and get a SETV while there.

Reading through the posts here, seems like I may be in a slightly precarious position.

Here’s my history:

First, I’m a USA passport holder.

This time I’ve been in Thailand since May 2019, so roughly 6 months, all on Visa Exemptions, and yes, I already used my two land crossings for the year.

I have the required funds, proof of onward travel (I head back to Brasil in mid-December), and hotel booking already prepared.

From July 2018 – mid Feb 2019, I spent off and on about 5.5 months in Thailand, but interspersed throughout, with a few longer trips to Vietnam and a visit to the USA.

From Feb 2019 – beginning of May 2019, I was in Brasil, then back here to Thailand.

I’m aware there is no legal limit for the number of tourist visas and visa-exemptions through the airport, but as someone else posted, there’s not much of an option for long-term tourists.

I enjoy spending about half my year here and would like to continue doing so.

I’m not old enough for the Retirement visa and don’t stay long enough for an ED visa. I’ve been eyeballing the Elite visa but haven’t made the jump yet.

Is there a safe way to continue coming on Visa exemptions and SETV’s or am I risking eventual denial?

Would Yangon be a good place to apply for a SETV this time around? Or is there a better option? I’m not interested in just doing a quick visa run to an embassy, I’d rather visit someplace new I haven’t been before.

If I’m eventually denied it’s not a big deal, but I’d prefer it not to happen.

Hello, I have been looking at the SETV applications from the Yangon and KL consulate sites and have a couple (hopefully simple questions.

(first off, US passports, currently staying in Phuket)

1) they both ask local guarantor and guarantor in Thailand information. What would this be?

2) the KL checklist asks to have proof of reservation/accommodations for the 'whole of stay in Thailand'

--so.. that wouldn't be a TM30 issue? if we are renting a place would a copy of the lease be sufficient?

--now if that lease happens to go past the date the SETV would be good for, will that cause problems?

(long story.. but in end we really needed a place that took pets short notice and this was cheap enough (and nice) we could risk having to pay rent for a place we didnt end up staying the whole time)

debating which place to use.. Yangon seems easy and we haven't been there before but flights are more expensive than KL.. but we've been to KL... hmm.. (that's just a side comment, mainly concerned with questions 1 & 2)

Hey guys! If anyone in this group has recently got a tourist visa (60 day) in Yangon can you please explain the application process/what I need to bring with me to the consulate? I’ve seen a few different things posted online so am looking for current information. Thank you ☺️
