[quote=BGray;499250]Hi Monty, as I live in Ireland I will probably be getting my own visa (JY are to get back to me about this) but I just wanted to check with you - I thought the visa was valid for entry into Burma for three months after issuing and it didn't matter if the three month period expired while there?  This will affect when I apply for it.  So could you please check this out for me?  I'm not explaining myself very well but what I'm really asking is that does the date of issue have to be less than three months before my return date?  If so, I'll have to wait until the beginning of January to apply - this should still give me enough time as Trailfinders in Ireland say to allow three weeks as well.  However if all that is needed is for me to enter Burma within three months of issue, then I'd apply at the beginning of December and get it sorted before the inevitable Christmas delay.  I really hope you see what I'm trying to say?!!

Many thanks,

Bob

Don't worry - the restraining order only kicks in on our sixth holiday together so you're fine for now!

Sally this really made me laugh out loud...I work in a very quiet environment so my snort of laughter caused a few people to jump lol 😃

Hi Monty,

Many thanks for your reply. I think I confused myself when I was writing my post! So if I apply at the beginning of December, even if it is issued promptly (Trailfinders will have to send it off to the Embassy in London in any case), it would still be valid until early March. Seeing as I get back before the end of February (I'm not doing the add-on) then that should be fine! Here's hoping it doesn't get lost in the system in the chaos of Christmas!! It's always a scary thing to be sending your passport away....

Best wishes,

Bob

Hi Bob,

I totally understand what you're trying to say. I am afraid, that as you live outside of the UK we are unable to arrange your visa so we recommend you contact your closest embassy, consulate or high commission for advice.

We would always recommend that your visa is valid for the whole trip - there would be nothing worse than getting in to trouble whilst on holiday. The visa is valid for 3 months from the date it’s applied for, so you could apply for it mid-December if that would be your preferred option. We can't say what Trailfinders process is when it comes to visa's so it might also be worthwhile having a chat with them too.

SarahS - Sorry I did mean "before" your trip.

I hope this helps.

Kindest regards,

Monty

I've just booked with add on for February 2017 subject to availability of flight upgrades.

Thank you. Did you mean "before" the trip?

Hi all,

Only four places left on the main tour now! Not sure how many are left for the add-on. Glad I booked when I did - last Friday there were 10 places left!

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Sarah,

The visa will not be digital, so it will be put in your passport and will be individual. This means that we will send your passport off to the Embassy in London which takes around 21 days, depending on when we catch the post. However, visas are only valid for 3 months so we can’t apply for the visa until 3 months after the return date of the holiday, otherwise it would not be valid for the trip.

I hope this makes sense.

Kindest regards,

Monty
