Kim Aris, 33, travelled from his home in London to Bangkok this monthwhen rumours emerged of his mother's impending release, but his application for a Burmese visa was initially denied.
News of the reunion came as Burma suspended several magazines that prominently covered Aung San Suu Kyi's release from house arrest on 13 November.
Aris is expected to arrive in Rangoon tomorrow morning, Aung San Suu Kyi's lawyer, Nyan Win, told the BBC Burmese service. Aris said his mother planned to meet him at the airport in Rangoon.
The pro-democracy leader, 65, has not seen Kim or her eldest son, Alexander, for about 10 years. Her husband, the Oxford University academic Michael Aris, died in the UK in 1999. While Michael was dying from cancer the junta offered to let Aung San Suu Kyi fly to the UK to see him, but she refused, guessing she would never be allowed back into the country.
Eight publications in the country have been suspended by government censors after they prominently published news and photographs about Aung San Suu Kyi's release.
The editor of one of the privately-owned publications said the press scrutiny board cited the size of a supplementary section about Aung San Suu Kyi as a violation of regulations.
The magazines had printed photos of Aung San Suu Kyi in full-colour supplements, which were used as wraparound covers when the issues were put on sale. Daily and electronic media in Burma are monopolised by the state, and private publications must submit their material to the censorship board.
Weekly Eleven news reported that First Eleven Sports Journal and Hote news magazine have been suspended for two weeks; 7 Day News, Venus, Myanmar Newsweek, Hlyat Tapyet (Snap Shot), Myanmar Post, Pyithu Khit and The Voice weekly each received a one-week suspension.
