Majority of visitors to Myanmar arrive by air, via the Yangon International Airport.   Airlines have been extending their service to Yangon. There are frequent flights out of Bangkok and Singapore. The quickest and most comfortable mode of domestic travel is by Air Mandalay which is a regional air carrier. Yangon Airways as well as Myanmar Airways, is partially government owned and partially privately owned. Their service connects to Yangon from Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Delhi and Hong Kong. (For instance, the Hong Kong service runs twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) from October to March).

When arriving internationally into Myanmar, a visa is required.  It normally takes between 1-4 days in BKK; in order to obtain a visa it is required to declare your occupation and the place of work. If one indicates they are a profession related to journalism, documentary, video or human rights inspector, their application may be rejected.

Once one arrives to Yangon, government run and private taxis are available at the airport to carry the passenger to city.

Trains, ferry boats and buses are all available for those who want to experience local transportation and meet Myanmar people as they travel. Information is available at hotels or travel agencies.
