Types of Myanmar business

• Single Entry Visa – a single entry business visa is valid for 70 days from the date you enter the country.
• Multiple Entry Visa – a multiple entry business is valid for a period of 3, 6, or 12 months. It’s rare for a first-time visitor to Myanmar to be issued a multiple entry visa. These usually go to travelers who have been approved prior for three single entry business visas.
  Following this, they typically get approved for either a three or six months visa. Approval for a 12-month multiple entry visa is usually approved after first having received a three or six months visa. There are exceptions, however, and those are handled on a case-by-case basis.
