Myanmar Tourist Visa

The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar launched its eVisa (Electronic Visa) system in September 2014, to make it easier for tourists to visit the country. With this system, you apply for your travel authorisation online, answering some simple questions and providing a few basic documents.

There’s no longer any need for you to travel to the embassy, fill in lengthy forms or queue for hours on end. Instead, obtaining your pass is now straightforward. So you can get on with planning your trip to cities like Yangon and Mandalay!

Please note that the Myanmar eVisa is a Single Entry visa valid for 90 days (3 months) from the date of issue, for trips up to 28 days. This means that:

• You can only go into and out of the country once, rather than hopping in and out repeatedly with what would be a Multiple Entry pass. So if you plan to enter Myanmar, exit to visit another country, then enter again, you’ll need 2 eVisas.
• Your authorisation expires 90 days from the date of issue, within which timeframe you can visit for up to 28 days. Fortunately, this gives you some leeway from when you apply for your travel pass to when you intend to catch your flight to the country that used to be called Burma.
