Apply for a Myanmar transit visa online

Myanmar Transit Visa - The state of Myanmar, known to many as Burma or Burma, is a popular transit country due to its shared borders with Thailand, Laos, China, India and Bangladesh. The transit visa for Burma allows foreign travelers to stay in Myanmar for a maximum of 24 hours.

As a rule, no visa is required for airport transit if the passengers continue their journey on the same aircraft within 24 hours, do not leave the transit area and present the valid documents for the onward journey.

Although the visa for transit is available as a visa on arrival, according to the information known to us, it can only be obtained at Yangon and Mandalay international airports, the port of Yangon and at the border crossings Myawady, Kawthaung and Tarchilek between Thailand and Burma.

All application documents, including the official Myanmar government form, must be carried. Applicants are required to prove their onward journey by presenting valid flight tickets and the main visa for the destination. They require a passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages for a visa endorsement and two passport photos. If children are traveling with you, the legal guardians must provide proof of the relationship to the children. A separate visa application must be submitted for minors aged 7 and over.

If you intend to apply for a visa on arrival, please inform yourself in advance at the Embassy of Burma about the current entry requirements and necessary application documents in order to avoid problems at the border.

Regardless of the point of entry, the embassy recommends that you apply for a regular visa before you travel. We will be happy to help you obtain a transit visa for Myanmar or a tourist visa or e-visa for your trip. Entry permits for tourist travel purposes offer the advantage that a stay of up to 28 days is permitted. This makes planning your trip more flexible and relaxed. However, please note the restrictions of the e-visa.
