Do US citizens need a Myanmar tourist e-Visa?

Yes. US and UK citizens, and nationals of more than 100 other countries, need the tourist e-Visa before travelling to Myanmar for leisure. We prepare the tourist e-Visa for you and check every answer, then submit it to the official Ministry of Immigration portal.

How long does the Myanmar tourist e-Visa take?

The Ministry of Immigration's minimum is about three working days, and many tourist e-Visas are approved within a day or two. We recommend applying one to two weeks ahead of travel. You receive an email acknowledgement within an hour of payment, and we add our own review buffer; an approved e-Visa is never issued on the spot, so apply a few days ahead.

How much does the Myanmar tourist e-Visa cost?

You pay one all-inclusive price that includes the government tourist e-Visa fee and our service fee, with no hidden charges and the government portion itemised on your receipt. The government fee goes to the Ministry of Immigration, while our fee covers reviewing your form for completeness and submitting it on your behalf.

How long is the Myanmar tourist e-Visa valid, and how long can I stay?

The approval letter is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued, which is the window to enter Myanmar. The tourist e-Visa permits a single entry with a stay of up to 28 days. The 90-day validity is not the length of stay, and re-entry after you leave requires a new e-Visa.

What do I need to apply for the Myanmar tourist e-Visa?

A passport valid for at least six months with a blank page, a clear copy of the passport photo page, and a recent digital passport-style photograph. You also provide your accommodation in Myanmar, your return or onward flight details, and a valid email address that receives the approval.

Is it safe to travel to Myanmar?

Conditions vary by region, and the situation can change. Major tourist areas around Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake and Yangon are generally accessible, but you should check your own government's official travel advisories before booking and again before you depart, and plan your route accordingly.

Can I use this service for a business visit to Myanmar?

No. VisitPass covers the tourist e-Visa only. Business visas, journalist visas and other categories follow separate procedures through Myanmar embassies or specialised channels and carry different documentation. Our wizard declines applications flagged as business intent so you apply through the right channel.

Do I need to print my Myanmar tourist e-Visa?

Yes. Carry a printed copy of the approval letter for boarding and for the border officers, alongside your passport. We recommend keeping a digital copy too in case of a systems issue. Our confirmation email includes the print-ready document. The country is also referred to as Burma.

Where is the Myanmar tourist e-Visa valid for entry?

The e-Visa is valid at Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw international airports and at authorised land checkpoints listed on your approval. Enter through one of those points and on the passport you applied with. The wizard verifies your entry point against the current authorised list before submission.

What happens if my Myanmar tourist e-Visa is refused?

Most refusals come from incomplete itineraries or documentation that does not match the passport. We check your form for completeness before submission to reduce that risk. Where a refusal is for reasons outside your control, our service fee is refunded; the government fee is paid to the authority and is not refundable.

Is the Myanmar e-Visa portal the official government website?

The official portal is the Ministry of Immigration and Population site at evisa.moip.gov.mm. VisitPass is an independent service, not affiliated with the Myanmar government. We prepare and submit your application to that official portal, and the government fee is itemised on your receipt, separate from our service fee.

Does each traveller need a separate Myanmar tourist e-Visa?

Yes. Every traveller needs their own e-Visa, including children and infants, and each one is linked to its own passport. A family travelling together submits a separate application per person. You can prepare them in one session and we review each form before it goes to the authority.

How can I avoid having my Myanmar tourist e-Visa refused?

Most avoidable refusals come from details that do not match the passport or from an incomplete itinerary. Type your name, passport number and dates exactly as on the photo page, give a real accommodation address and a return or onward flight, and use a clear photo. We check every field and flag mismatches before submission so a small slip does not cost you the application.

Do I need to show proof of funds or an onward ticket for Myanmar?

The online tourist e-Visa form does not ask you to upload bank statements, but you confirm your accommodation and your return or onward travel. Immigration officers can ask for evidence that you can support your stay and will leave within the permitted period, so keep your hotel booking and a return or onward ticket within reach at the border.

What makes a Myanmar e-Visa photo get rejected?

A submission is commonly held for correction when the photo is blurred, badly lit, taken against a busy background, or crops part of the face. Use a recent passport-style photo on a plain light background, face the camera with a neutral expression, and avoid hats or sunglasses except head coverings worn for religious reasons. We review it against the portal's rules first.

Can I get the Myanmar tourist e-Visa quickly for a last-minute trip?

Often, yes, though it is never a decision the moment you pay. The government's minimum is about three working days and many are returned within a day or two, and our Super Rush review ships your form to the authority in under six hours so the official clock starts at once. Apply as early as you can, since admission rests with the Myanmar authorities.

When should I apply for the Myanmar tourist e-Visa?

Myanmar's stated minimum is about three working days, and many tourist e-Visas come back within a day or two, but timings shift around peak season and public holidays. Apply a week or more before departure rather than the night before, and never expect an approval the moment you pay. For short-notice travel, the Rush and Super Rush tiers ship your form to the authority quickly so the official clock starts without delay.

Myanmar e-Visa · VisitPass

Overview

The Myanmar tourist e-Visa is the country's online travel authorisation for leisure visits, issued through the official Ministry of Immigration and Population portal at evisa.moip.gov.mm. It replaces the need to queue at an embassy: you apply online and receive an approval letter by email. It is available to nationals of more than 100 countries, including travellers from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada and Australia, who hold a passport valid for the trip.

The approval letter is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued, which is your window to enter the country, and it permits a single entry with a stay of up to 28 days. It helps to read those two figures separately: the 90 days is how long you have to arrive, while the 28 days is how long you may remain once admitted. Re-entry after you leave needs a new e-Visa.

The tourist e-Visa covers tourism only: sightseeing, cultural visits and short leisure trips. It does not cover paid work, study toward a degree, journalism for a Myanmar outlet, business dealings with local entities, or residence, which follow separate visa procedures this service does not handle. Each traveller, including children and infants, needs their own e-Visa linked to their own passport.

Your Myanmar e-Visa is prepared in your own language and every answer is checked for completeness before it is submitted to the Ministry of Immigration, so a small error does not delay your trip.

At a glance

The key facts for a Myanmar e-Visa application.

Visa type: e-Visa
What you need: Your passport
Validity: 90 days
Maximum stay: 28 days
Entry type: Single

Who can apply

The main eligibility conditions for this destination, and who can apply.

Available to nationals of more than 100 countries through the official Ministry of Immigration portal (evisa.moip.gov.mm). The TOURIST e-Visa is valid 90 days from issuance with single-entry use up to 28 days. Each traveller including children needs their own e-Visa. Business and other visa categories follow separate procedures and are NOT covered by this service.

What you'll need

Have these ready before you begin your application. Requirements can vary by nationality and trip purpose.

Passport with at least six months validity and one blank page
Recent digital passport photograph
Confirmed accommodation in Myanmar
Return or onward flight booking
Email address for e-Visa delivery
Payment method (one all-inclusive price)

Requirements in detail

The Myanmar tourist e-Visa asks for a focused set of documents, and each one must match your passport exactly. You need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date with one blank page, because the e-Visa is tied to that passport and you must travel on the same one you apply with. You also upload a clear copy of the passport photo page and a recent digital passport-style photograph against a plain light background, with your full face visible and no head covering except for religious reasons.

A blurred scan or a photo that crops the face is a frequent reason a submission is held for correction, so take both in good light. Have your accommodation address in Myanmar and your return or onward flight details ready, along with a valid email address that receives the approval. The most common avoidable error is a mismatch between what you type and what your passport shows: a transposed passport number, a name entered in the wrong order, or a date of birth that does not match.

A single wrong character can hold up an application, so the name, passport number and dates are checked against the document itself before submission, and anything that looks incomplete is flagged before it reaches the Ministry of Immigration.

Government processing time

What the issuing authority typically takes once the application is submitted.

Government processing: Myanmar Ministry of Immigration decides in 1 to 5 business days. VisitPass review: Standard 1-3 business days; Rush 1 business day; Super Rush less than 6 hours. The application is checked for completeness, submitted to the authority, and the confirmation issued. When to apply: Myanmar's stated minimum is about three working days and many tourist e-Visas come back within a day or two, but timings shift around peak season and public holidays. Apply a week or more before your departure rather than the night before, and an approval is never issued the moment you pay.

On arrival

Carry a printed copy of your approved Myanmar e-Visa approval letter together with your passport. The airline checks it before you board, and immigration officers at the border ask to see it on arrival, so a digital copy alone is not enough. Travel on the exact passport you applied with, since the e-Visa is linked to it electronically.

Enter through one of the listed international airports or authorised land checkpoints named on your approval. The e-Visa lets you request entry, but the final admission decision rests with the immigration officer at the port of entry, who may ask about the purpose and length of your trip, so keep your accommodation details and your return or onward ticket within reach.

Planning your trip

Myanmar's signature sights reward an unhurried trip: the temple-strewn plain of Bagan at sunrise, the stilt villages and floating gardens of Inle Lake, the royal history and craft workshops around Mandalay, and the golden Shwedagon Pagoda rising over Yangon. The cool, dry months from November to February bring the most comfortable weather for exploring, with warm days and crisp evenings inland, while the southwest monsoon rains arrive from around May. Distances are long and roads can be slow, so build in buffer time between regions and book domestic transport ahead in the busy season. Pack modest layers that cover shoulders and knees for temple visits, a scarf or shawl that doubles as cover at sacred sites, comfortable shoes you can slip off easily since many temples are entered barefoot, and a light wrap for cooler nights. Conditions can differ markedly from one part of the country to another, so as routine planning consult your own government's official travel advisories before you book and again as departure approaches.
