Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete documentation
Missing or incomplete documents from the embassy's Employment Visa checklist can result in the application not being accepted or processed.
How to avoid it: Work through the checklist in order, and check your employer's invitation letter, registration copy, and tax receipts are all included.
Employer not properly registered
The inviting company must be registered according to the Myanmar Investment Commission or the relevant ministry, an unregistered or improperly documented employer doesn't meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Confirm your employer's registration certificate is current and matches the invitation letter before you apply.
Fee paid the wrong way
The Washington D.C. embassy only accepts the visa fee by cashier's check or money order, payment by credit card, personal check, or cash is not accepted.
How to avoid it: Arrange a cashier's check or money order for the exact fee amount before you submit your application.
