Visit & tourism1 pathway

Tourist eVisa
Myanmar's Ministry of Immigration and Population issues single-entry tourist eVisas online to nationals of 100 countries. After approval (minimum 3 working days), you print the approval letter and get the visa stamped on arrival at Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw airports or the Kawthaung land border. You can stay 28 days and the tourist eVisa cannot be extended. Myanmar has been in armed conflict since the 2021 military takeover, and many governments advise against travel to much or all of the country.

Business eVisa
Nationals of 54 countries can apply online for a Myanmar business eVisa. It needs an invitation letter and requisition letter from a company registered on Myanmar Companies Online (MyCO), with its registration, company extract and proof of a valid annual return. It allows a stay of 70 days and, unlike the tourist eVisa, can be extended through the eStay system or the Stay Extension Office in Yangon.
