Am I right in saying that a typical western passport holder (US, UK, Australian etc) can now enter Myanmar for a short visit without a visa, providing they are flying from Phnom Penh?

GREAT news
voa for Myanmar at 6 additional entry points!!!
voa for Myanmar at 6 additional entry points!!!
http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/e-visa ... ry-points/Thai PBS
October 25, 2014
Myanmar's Ministry of Immigration and Population will begin issuing electronic visas for tourists at six additional locations, a ministry official told The Irrawaddy on Friday.
The e-visa registration, introduced on Sept 1, is currently only available to visitors entering the country through the Yangon International Airport. The ministry said that service will soon be extended to Mandalay, Naypyidaw and four overland crossings along Myanmar’s border with Thailand.
Applicants must complete an online visa form, verify that all information is correct and make a credit card payment for fees. Those approved will receive an emailed document that they can print out and present to immigration officers upon arrival.
Turnaround time averages five days, and the visa is priced at US$50 per person. After approval, travelers have 90 days to enter Myanmar, where they can stay for up to 28 days.
“We’re going to set up the machines, and we’ll conduct trials in Mandalay and Naypyidaw. Afterwards we plan to start offering e-visas in four Thai-Myanmar border stations,” said Maung Maung Than, director-general of the immigration ministry.
The government has only recently allowed overland entry into Myanmar; four checkpoints along the Thai-Myanmar border — at Myawaddy, Tachilek, Kawthaung and Htee Khee — only offered one-day passes or specially issued travel exemptions until just last year.

Are there any updates on Visa On Arrival for Yangon? I need to nip across for a few days next week. Do I need to apply in advance or do an e-visa and pick it up on arrival, or can I simply turn up and get it truly on arrival at Yangon airport. The various websites are very misleading.

E-visa to be safe. Bring a few passport photos too just in case.
...and bring crisp $100s fresh from the cambo ATM. No tears, or even stamps upon. You'll have tremendous difficulty offloading heavily circulated US currency from Cambodia.

print it out ( you need do this to board) on arrival just proceed to immigration as if u had a visa,( at least this is how it works for Mandalay) Than u just get a stamp in an out no full page visa
takes 1-3 days only
$50
valid for 90 days from date of issue, stay for 28 days
there is NO VOA
Bring crisp bills, change at airport , 35% of ur money to Kyat. Hotels and and western style restaurants use $$, everything else Kyat
Unlike before now u can change back unused Kyat into $ at the airport
You can buy sim cards very cheap for calls and internet usage., Works very well
i use MPT
Atms Everywhere gives u Kyat $1-1,285 kyat
