Primary guidance checked with Embassy of Myanmar in Tokyo on 15 November 2026.

Overview

Tokyo asks for the applicant company’s request naming the person, passport, role, travel dates and business, an invitation from a company registered under Myanmar’s company law, valid registration evidence and tax-payment or exemption evidence. Its multiple-entry checklist additionally requires a detailed repeat-entry reason. This embassy procedure is separate from the Business eVisa and its DICA/MyCO checklist. For multiple-entry variants, obtain the actual endorsement: the ministry describes staying during the validity period without a mandatory exit at the single-entry stay threshold, while Tokyo’s table also has a stay column. Do not turn either a validity period or a general table cell into a guaranteed stay for every case. These are existing published categories newly covered on this site. Tokyo’s local table has an older effective-date introduction; its yen prices and procedures are not global tariffs or proof of acceptance of every individual case. Confirm current mission instructions and the actual grant.

Typical evidence

Application pathway

  1. Confirm the exact category and mission

    Have a genuine company-supported business purpose and the required registered Myanmar invitation. Check current local acceptance and whether a single or multiple-entry request fits the case.

  2. Assemble the category evidence

    Applicant-company request with passport details, position, dates and business purpose. Myanmar registered-company invitation and current registration certificate copy. Tax-payment receipts or tax-exemption certificate; detailed repeated-entry reasons for a multiple request.

  3. Follow the mission’s submission and payment instructions

    Use the actual form and local process. Where a charge is assessed, Tokyo’s general instruction is to pay after visa confirmation; where a checklist asks for a bank receipt, obtain the correct sequence from the mission. No application or payment was tested.

  4. Check the issued conditions

    Read validity, permitted stay, entries, purpose and any extension conditions on the actual permission. Obtain separate professional, registration or residence approvals where required.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Business Visa — Embassy Single and Multiple Entry, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Agree the lawful start date and onboarding with the employer or sponsor. Check whether the permission names an employer, role or activity before changing the arrangement.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
