This is what you have to provide in order to come to Myanmar. 1. Travel insurance, that covers accident and Covid-19. It is better to book it through the Burmese government. Check out the link below: www.mminsurance.gov.mm/ 2. Do bring some cash, some people got asked to show $1,000 in cash. However, at the immigration they only asked me for the insurance, but when I checked in at Bangkok Airport, I was asked how much cash I have. 3. The proof of hotel book. 4. Return ticket. 5. The Myanmar tourist visa. I didn't need visa because we're ASEAN member countries. Note: Facebook, messenger, Instagram and X are restricted. You can use them if you have the VPN. WhatsApp you can only send messages but not photos or videos. Thanks for following me and my adventure. Cheers!
Sorry but I live and work here. You only need VPN for Facebook. Its not China (where I lived and worked 10 years) TwitterX etc all work fine no vpn. No need for sensationalist thumbnails
Just came across your channel Nat, Love your content. Myanmar looks amazing to visit, the time definitely stood still with the old and new. I live in London, UK and hope to visit soon.
I’m surprised that you were not concerned about the ongoing strife in Myanmar… Were you at All concerned about your safety? I would love to travel there, but because of the civil strife and war, it’s a place that I don’t think I could go to… I feel for the people in the culture which is very rich, and I’m sure inspiring… I pray that the day will come that I could travel there
I was a bit worried before I flew to Yangon. But after doing some research, it kind of relaxed me a bit. Just avoid the red zone, especially in the north. in a big city like Yangon, Mandalay and Bagan are safe.
Im an old lady living and working here. there are no problems except in a few remote areas. people outside have some strange ideas. I also have a youtube
Sure is! I live and work here. Media hypes everything. A few remote places there are issues but you can't go to anyway. Hundreds of us foreigners live and work here. Heck i even run a youtube channel. and i don't do click bait thumbnails like this guy with fake info
how much you buy insurance? and do we really need to bring cash? i don't like carrying so much cash because it is not safe, i will only stay for 3 days maybe
I paid $50 for 15 days. for 30 days, I believe it was $85 or something. For cash, yes, you will be asked at some point either at the counter when you check in before you board the flight or upon arrival at the airport in Myanmar. I had only $300 cash and a few thousand Thai Baht, and some bit of British pound last time. And it was fine, as I have purchased the insurance and I have a hotel booking reference as well as the return ticket.
@@natnomad but i will just visit Myanmar for 3 days and i purchase the flight ticket around 60 USD, if the insurance is 50 USD, so it means the insurance itself is almost the same with price of the flight ticket? waoo
Heyy , really nice video, I was wondering if I can help you by better video editing and also make highly engaging short. Let me know to have my portfolio or your edited sample video. Cheers, Rajvir Singh
Basically minimum of $1000 in cash. However when I checked in at the counter at Bangkok Airport, I told them I had only a few hundred dollars in cash. But I've purchased the insurance and return ticket so that's good enough.
Why did you do a clickbait thumbnail with information that is not correct? I live and work here along with hundreds of other foreigners. I know drama videos make people click but you need to paint a balanced view. I also run a UA-cam and live and work here so I have a bit more of a clue as an international doing this over a decade in places like Mainland China previously.
@@natnomadif you ask anyone in Myanmar big cities like Yangon, mandalay, literally everyone here use Facebook and Instagram everyday (yes, we got free vpm but authorities doesn’t really care we use vpm to assess Facebook/Instagram/UA-cam). Anyway, stay safe and don’t go to restricted area like Shan state. Hope you enjoy your stay in Yangon
Yes… everything is perfect in this video. Explains what do we need to get into the country. I don’t see anything wrong here. A very useful video indeed.
most of travel warnings and news coming from western countries and those junta;s ennemy...aiming at boycotting the junta,,,yet forgetting the millions of myanmar people, no matter what ethnicity they are...those warnings are going too far sometimes, not based on current facts...but..just haunting
There are people literally dying even in major cities and you guys are flapping around like everything is fine, just get the fuck out of my country you guys are not helping.
him being here HELPS the local Burmese small business MORE THAN you spreading misinformation! And WHO the hell ARE YOU to tell others that they are not welcome in our country!
@@natnomad In case you don't know, local ppl don't want ANY tourists, that's why oversea Myanmar ppl don't even go back and here you are supporting ppl that are Assoicate with military ppl. Shame on you!
@@MissLizaYangonMyanmar I see a few low budget backpackers going around w cameras, and they have no clue what they are talking about. Wait till they get arrested; they will be crying out loud. As for you, you're working for family that related to military, again, shame on you once and shame on you twice for supporting military. I have a Data that NOT hundreds of foreigners are working in YGN. Get your source right. You must be desperate to accept this job to work here, hope you are not running away from your own Country.
You think his small budget of tourism is huge enough for the military spending?? Lol😂 him being here HELPS the local Burmese small business MORE THAN you spreading misinformation

I’ve been there in 2019 . Myanmar was full of blessing . Buddha blessings you
Thank you. Myanmar is absolutely wonderful and untouched by tourists. I am loving it here

Yes sir😊
Stay safe!
Thank you. So far so good😊
Is it necessary to take travel insurance? Is it available at the airport and how much will it cost?
It is necessary to get travel insurance for Myanmar. I purchased online and it costs $50 for 15 days. You can also get it at the airport in Yangon
What the process for visa on arrival?
Which Visa Documents Required for Tourists in Yangon Airport?
I don't think you can get visa on arrival now. Maybe in the future
Is it safe to travel to Myanmar during this time? Stay safe Nat ❤
Thank you, mate. It is safe, especially in big cities like Yangon, Bangan and Mandalay.
Sure is! I live and work here. Media hypes everything. A few remote places there are issues but you can't go to anyway. Hundreds of us foreigners live and work here. Heck i even run a youtube channel. and i don't do click bait thumbnails like this guy with fake info

So we can buy the insurance at yangon airport right?
Yes, you can buy it upon arrival.
@@natnomad how much?
@@natnomadhow much pls reply
Hello interesting video, may I know how to buy travel insurance through Myanmar government?
www.mminsurance.gov.mm
check this out
@@natnomadthank you for your response 😊
@@natnomadI already check the website but they is no online insurance sales, did you buy at the airport and how much?
@@travelwithken Then what happened, where did you get and buy the insurance and how much did you pay for it?
So now instagram, facebook, whatsapp are banned there? What about grab app?
They're not ban, only restricted. You can use the VPN to be able to use them. Grab app is fine and UA-cam is fine too
how about bringing drone?
I am not sure if you can fly it or even allow to bring it in. It is heavily petrol by the army.
@@natnomad thank you
Heyy , really nice video, I was wondering if I can help you by better video editing and also make highly engaging short. Let me know to have my portfolio or your edited sample video.

Where are you from
I am from Laos
How much cash did they want you to have?
Basically minimum of $1000 in cash. However when I checked in at the counter at Bangkok Airport, I told them I had only a few hundred dollars in cash. But I've purchased the insurance and return ticket so that's good enough.
@@natnomad Thanks I appreciate the quick response.
My pleasure, enjoy beautiful Myanmar 🇲🇲

Be cautious during your stay. Talk less!
Thank you for the warning. I will be careful

Exactly
MyTel is co-owned by the military.
Ah, good to know. thanks
Its really mess up here , why are you guys even want to come ?
It is OK, as long as you avoid the red zone. Myanmar is such a beautiful country, I took the risk to come visit and so far so good.
I live and work here like hundereds of other foreigners. I even run a youtube channel. No problems at all except in a few remote areas
It's like a sick joke hearing it from you guys.Of course there is no problems at all , for privileged people at least.
There are people literally dying even in major cities and you guys are flapping around like everything is fine, just get the fuck out of my country you guys are not helping.
