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.
