Where and how to apply

According to the consular information page consulted, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to three routes: the visa information published by Myanmar's missions abroad, sorted by region; the official electronic visa application portal, whose address it gives; and the visa issued on arrival.

The page devoted to the visa issued on arrival states that travelers must arrive through one of the three international airports of Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw. Access to that route depends on nationality: the page publishes its own lists, which VisaGuideline does not reproduce; use the nationality selector on this page.

Steps in the procedure

  1. Determine the category matching the purpose of the stay in the official table of visas, their fees and their duration.
  2. Choose the submission route: electronic visa portal, Myanmar mission abroad, or application on arrival where it is open.
  3. Gather the passport and the documents requested, including photographs in the stated format.
  4. For a business trip, carry a letter of invitation, as the page consulted states.
  5. Pay the fees corresponding to the category chosen.
  6. For an application on arrival, go to one of the three international airports mentioned by the page.

This method is the same for every destination. It does not list any document as an official requirement: only the authority’s source is authoritative.
