Yangon does not accept payment through the e-visa system. Same as both consulates in Laos. Payment must be made in person at the embassy but at Yangon you're required to have an appointment to pay.

It's best to understand the process BEFORE you submit an application.

They will not be e-mailing you to make an appointment. You have to do that yourself.

@Jim ******

you cannot use it in Thailand. You can only use it when entering. And if the embassy finds you went to Thailand they will cancel your application as you're required to remain inside the jurisdiction of the embassy during the entire application process.

@Jasmine *********

you can ask to see the usage or the meter. But you're paying an inflated rate

What does your lease say? Generally you either get the bill directly from the electric company and pay the government rate, or you pay a rate that's 2-6x the government rate as a way for the owner to make extra money off of you. Either way it should be in the lease.

There is no interview.

Anonymous participant 942 then do the e-visa. It's a much smaller sticker

I did it myself

Many reports that DTV processing is about a month from that embassy. Not sure about other visa types.

@Darren ******

yes, definitely. The LTR application doesn't care where you are since the BOI does the processing. And if you're already in Thailand you can pay the exact 50,000 baht to immigration rather than the inflated embassy price. And even better, you'll get a big stamp in your passport rather than having to carry around a printed visa for 10 years.
