Online Visa

Has anyone obtained a Myanmar visa using this online tool:
http://www.myanmarevisa.gov.mm/

Just wondering if it is any better than getting it from the embassy here in Canada.

Get one in Canada. The online visa (long rumored) does not yet work.

You can use visa online in some country such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. But visa online can not be accepted in many countries. You should check carefully with Myanmar.

This query comes up weekly and there are pages of comment if you look for them
As Cassie says ,it does not yet work, they have been working on the system since it was announced in April but it is not yet up and running and will be "test run" on SE Asia countries before being rolled out to Westerners.
Until your local Embassy web site shows it is working just use the normal application. The London embassy shows the evisa link but it doesn't work

This official government e-visa site "worked" for a short period. You'd get the form page at least without getting blocked for a log in admin only. Just wondering if anyone got trough and got an e-visa this way

I tried the government's e-visa site last week. It was not working then, couldn't enter a credit card number, it just bypassed that part. Got an application number and a code though it's not valid.

Also, I sent the application to Ottawa by express mail last week (August 14, 2012) from Quebec City and just got the visa a few minutes ago (August 24).

Really looking forward to be in Myanmar!

Happy travels!

Ok, I'll hit up the Canadian Embassy. Thanks for all the advice.
