Usually if you have a good handling agent, they will arrange visa upon arrival, even with a positioning airline flight. We have done that before at various airports in Middle East. You need to ensure to have a local staff available to escort the crew from the a/c through immigration. We are regulars in the ME but not often going to the far east, havn't been to Myanmar for years though.. .But back to the original topic, I just had this specific problem today, I had to position (in a rush) a Cpt to SVO with AFL ex GVA. Well our handling agent in SVO couldn't guarantee the visa granting early enough and Aeroflot denied the boarding of our crew. The Russians just changed again the whole visa procedure and it's now painful to get one at very short notice.. .Anyway isn't all this part of the fun of our various daily ops <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
