By Sam Parks · Last reviewed: 30 June 2026

The packet confirms tourist eVisa and business eVisa handling, tourist passport, photograph, passport biodata, return-ticket and accommodation evidence, business invitation and company evidence, tourist and business eVisa fees and stated stay durations. It does not publish a complete public checklist for every work permit, residence, study, family, renewal, overstay, NGO, journalist or local-registration case, and the eVisa site can be slow or intermittently difficult to fetch without a browser, so applicants should confirm the current route, airport or border availability, company status, fee, payment, approval letter and in-country requirements before relying on any filing path.

Overview

Myanmar coverage is lite because the reviewed public official packet is the Ministry of Immigration and Population eVisa application, notice and processing-fee pages. The packet confirms tourist eVisa and business eVisa handling, tourist passport, photograph, passport biodata, return-ticket and accommodation evidence, business invitation and company evidence, tourist and business eVisa fees and stated stay durations. It does not publish a complete public checklist for every work permit, residence, study, family, renewal, overstay, NGO, journalist or local-registration case, and the eVisa site can be slow or intermittently difficult to fetch without a browser, so applicants should confirm the current route, airport or border availability, company status, fee, payment, approval letter and in-country requirements before relying on any filing path. The reviewed official public packet gives useful tourist and business eVisa instructions but does not expose a stable public route-level checklist for ordinary work permits, residence, study, family settlement, local registration, renewals, NGO/INGO deployment, journalism or overstay handling. Business eVisa users must also keep activity within the invitation letter and company evidence described by the official notice. Use this page as a safety gate before treating a tourist or business eVisa as permission for any long-stay, employment, study, family or regulated activity.

ℹ️ Who can apply?

You need an approved sponsor in Republic of the Union of Myanmar before applying. This route does not lead to permanent residence. Open to qualifying applicants from all countries.

No. The official notice warns that the applicant and inviting company may face action if the person is not officially appointed or engages in activity not specified in the invitation letter.
