Myanmar visa

Securing a Myanmar visa is a key step in preparing for your trip. There are several ways to obtain a visa, including online processing, making the process much easier for many travelers. When applying for a visa, you will need to fill out an application form, providing accurate information about the purpose of your visit and your planned itinerary.

Myanmar offers different types of visas, each corresponding to a specific purpose of travel. Tourist visa is the most common type for short-term visits. There are also business, social, religious and other visa categories.

The validity and length of stay on a visa varies depending on the type of visa. It is important to keep in mind that some visas only allow single entry, while others allow multiple border crossings.

Obtaining a Myanmar visa is an important step in planning a trip that opens the door to the wonderful world of this mysterious country.

Do you need a visa to Myanmar?

Most foreign nationals require a visa to travel to Myanmar. There are several types of visas to enter the country, including eVisa and visa on arrival. Below is a comparison table to help you understand the main differences between these visa types.

eVisa
  • Entry frequency: single entry
  • Processing time: from 5 working days
  • Period of stay: 28 days
  • Visa validity period: 90 days from the date of issuance
Visa on Arrival
  • Entry duration: single entry
  • Clearance period: no advance clearance required
  • Period of stay: 28 days
  • Visa validity: 90 days from the date of issuance

An e-visa allows you to obtain entry authorization in advance by filling out an online application. It is a convenient option as it avoids long waiting times upon arrival in Myanmar. The processing time for such a visa is usually from 5 working days and it entitles you to enter the country once and stay for up to 28 days. The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue.

The visa on arrival is processed directly at the airport upon arrival in Myanmar. This option may be convenient for those who do not have time to apply for a visa in advance, but it is worth considering possible delays at the airport. The visa on arrival also entitles you to a single entry and stay of up to 28 days and is valid for 28 days from the date of issue.

The choice between an e-visa and visa on arrival depends on your preferences and travel plans. If you want to avoid waiting and have your visa in advance, an e-visa is the best option. If it is more convenient for you to apply for a visa on arrival, you can use the visa on arrival.
