ACS Online Appointment System
American Citizens are encouraged to make appointments for services online at the Embassy’s Online Appointment System. It’s fast, easy and convenient. We try to assist all customers during our ACS hours (2:00-3:30pm M-F), but cannot guarantee service to those who fail to make an appointment. American Citizens with emergency needs are not required to make an appointment.

Security
Security is always important at our Embassies and Consulates. When you visit Embassy Rangoon or our Consular Office, please bring your U.S. passport as identification. Our Embassy guards will request to see that identification. If you are a U.S. citizen that has lost your passport, try to contact the Consular Office before coming to the Embassy.
All visitors pass through a metal detector, and your bags will be scanned. Visitors may not bring liquids into the Embassy, but water fountains are available for visitors.
Note to all United States citizens traveling to Burma: ATM machines do not exist in Burma, no Burmese bank accepts traveler's checks, and Burmese businesses do not accept credit cards. As a result, foreign travelers must enter the country with enough cash to cover all expenses, including unexpected ones. Please plan accordingly to ensure a smooth trip.
