Entry for Thai passport holders
Thai passport holders can visit Myanmar for short tourism without a visa under the ASEAN arrangement as specified, and border passes exist for border areas. Work or long-term residence requires an appropriate visa.
Business and work visas
Myanmar business visas need a Myanmar company as sponsor, and long-term work requires permits under Myanmar law. Thai documents usually must be translated into English or Burmese and certified.
Document legalisation
Thai official documents used in Myanmar must be certified by the Department of Consular Affairs and the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok before use.
