Myanmar e Visa For Tourism

The tourist e-vids are issued by the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to tourist visitors. This online visa is valid for 3 months from the date it is issued, and the holder can stay in the country for up to 28 days. The tourist visa is a single entry visa, so it cannot be used more than once as an entry document. Applicants must complete an online application form including their details, travel itinerary, and passport information. They must also select their preferred entry point.

Kindly note that the e-visa for Myanmar can only be used for land and air travel, not sea trips. Visitors are also advised to exit the country before or on the day their visa expires.

Myanmar e Visa For Business

Business visitors looking to visit this Far East Asian country can do so with an online business visa if they are eligible. This business visa has a much longer term than the one for tourism because it allows the holder to stay in Myanmar for up to 70 days counting from the very first day they arrive in the country. It is valid for 3 months and cannot be extended unless, in rare cases; even at that, the holder must prove to the immigration office why they need their visa extended.

Business visitors are free to visit any passport-free zone in the country to conduct their business but are informed that they cannot work with this visa as it is not an employment visa. Persons interested in working in Myanmar should submit a worm visa application to the nearest embassy or consulate.

Myanmar Visa Policy

According to the official visa policy position of the Myanmar government, any foreigner who wishes to enter the country must get a visa first unless they are from one of the countries on the visa-exempt list. All visitors are also expected to hold valid passports that will not expire for at least the next 6 months.

Among the list of countries on this list are Singaporean nationals whose citizens can visit Myanmar and stay for up to 30 days without visas, and they can enter and exit the country through any port of entry.

The visa policy of Myanmar is always changing as new bilateral and multilateral agreements are struck with other countries.  That is why visitors are advised to consult the current list to know if they qualify for visa free entry or not.

It is also important to note also that visa exemptions are only for visitors coming for tourism, transit or business.  Those seeking employment in Myanmar or looking to school in the country will have to apply to the Myanmar foreign mission for an appropriate visa.

Persons who hold diplomatic passports from the approved countries don't require visas to enter Myanmar if they are staying for 90 days or 30 days.

Restricted Visa-Free Access

There is a restricted visa-free policy for nationals from selected countries who may wish to visit for business or tourism, but unlike Singaporeans who may enter and leave through any route, these visitors are only allowed to do so through Nay Pyi Taw International Airport or Yangon International Airport.

Foreigners who are eligible for restricted visa free access may stay in Myanmar for 30 days or 14 days.  Also, some nationals from eligible countries may only activate the access by arriving by air.

Other foreign nationals include persons from Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, and Japan who can enter and exit through any entry port.

Myanmar e Visa

The government of Myanmar launched a comprehensive electronic visa policy in 2015 for business, tourism, and transit. This online visa is processed speedily and used within 3 working days after the application is received and allows the holder to stay for 28 days as a tourist and 70 days as a business visitor with a letter of invitation. Transit visitors are only allowed to stay for 1-4 days maximum. While adult visitors must pay an application fee, children are exempted from such fees.

So far, the list of eligible countries has been expanded twice, and they must enter Myanmar through Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon, or Mandalay International Airports or the Tachileik border or Kawthuang border crossing with Thailand.

Applicants for electronic visas must meet the following conditions

  • They must be citizens of eligible countries
  • They must hold valid ordinary passports
  • They must have sufficient funds to cover their expenses
  • They must old return or onward flight tickets for their exit 

Key Information About Myanmar e Visa 

Please print out the e-visa: Once the e-visa is forwarded to your email after your application has been approved, make sure you print it out. Travel with the copy to Myanmar as evidence to the officers at the arrival point and carry it wherever you go, just in case law enforcement officers question your motives.

Use the same passport: Your e-visa is linked to your passport, so you must travel with the same passport, not a different one. If your passport expires sooner than required, apply to your government for a new one before applying for an e-visa. If you travel with a different passport, you will be denied entry into Myanmar.

Leave before your visa expires: Be mindful of your visa's expiry date and leave before it expires. The tourist e-visa is valid for 28 days, and the business visa is valid for 70 days after your entry. Transit visitors must stay 3-4 days in Myanmar before they leave. Staying in Myanmar on an expired visa will attract sanctions, and the longer you stay, the worse the sanctions will become.

Don't engage in any employment: The e-visa program is not for immigrant workers and should not be converted into a work visa. This document is only for short-term non-commercial visitors to the South East Asian country. Those looking to work should apply for a work visa to the Myanmar foreign mission.

Respect local laws: You must respect the local laws and customs of the country during your stay. Myanmar is one of Asia's most culturally sensitive countries, and locals may feel insulted by alien acts and practices. Be self-aware of your actions, especially in public places.

Use Approved Routes: There are dozens of routes into Myanmar, but only a few of them are open for entry to e-visa holders. Always use approved airports and border routes for your entry. Also note they your nationality may determine the routes open to you. For instance, while Singaporeans are free to enter and exit the country through any route, other nationals are limited to a few designated routes.  Ahead of trip, plot your itinerary carefully.

Proof of Funds Documents: One of documents you will be asked to provide at the airport will be a proof of fund document if you don't have physical cash at hand. A stamped bank statement for the last 3-6 months containing sufficient balance to cover your expenses will be accepted. A credit card issue by a reputable International financial institution will also be accepted.  The minimum daily amount for expenses is ever changing in light of exchange rates and the economic situation so check the current minimum daily amount for visitors before the trip to be sure of how much you will need.

Vaccination: If you will travel to some interior regions in the country, you should get medical advice regarding safety precautions. Although Myanmar doesn't have a Vaccination mandate in force, all that may change if there's a health risk.  Ask your doctor if you will need yellow fever vaccination or any other vaccinations to protect you from potential health risks.
