Great news

Announcement - Upcoming Land Border Checkpoints Opening!

Dear valued visitors,

We are pleased to announce that starting from 01/09/2016, eVisa can be used to enter Myanmar from the following three land border checkpoints, between Myanmar and Thailand:

The application process and policies remain the same, and is applicable to both tourist and business eVisa types. We hope these additional enhancements will offer our valued guests even more flexibility and convenience when visiting Myanmar in the near future.

Good news indeed.

Will this have a positive effect on your travels by land? I know you often drive all over the place.

not really,
i usually fly in and exit by land, but it gives me and others options to avoid having to get a visa in advance at home or in Bangkok

Dont drive around Myanmar,(as i do around Cambodia,Thailand, Laos and Malaysia) do rent motorcycles thou
