Hello all:

I am planning to go to Myanmar to explore job (as a Project Manager) & business development opportunities. Would anyone please give some advices? I would highly appreciate it.

Some questions as starters:
1. I am a US citizen, do I need to obtain a visa to enter Myanmar? If so, where should I go?
2. Is there a direct flight from Vietnam to Myanmar?
3. What is the most booming city/area in Myanmar for business?
4. Any special factors to be highlighted?

Many thanks

Torrance
