I would print out the all the VOA details for the check-in staff just in case since it only started today.

Thanks for the report.

The visa reqs have been updated by IATA today. The text is confusing, but hopefully in time the airlines will figure it out. This should be the same text that all the airlines see in their reservations systems.

The key phrase is "or via www.mip.gov.mm. -onward tickets is required when applying for a transit visa." Of course the text contains so many ANDs and ORs, it is impossible to figure out the real meaning. They're in need of some parentheses.
