Myanmar Visit Guide for Malaysian Citizens

Do Malaysians Need a Visa?

For a standard holiday lasting less than 14 days, Malaysian passport holders entering via international airports are currently exempt from visa requirements. However, if you plan to stay for up to 28 days or are travelling for business, you must apply for a Myanmar eVisa before you arrive at the gate.

Choosing Your Visa Type

There are two main choices. The Tourist eVisa is suitable for those exploring the country's heritage. The Business eVisa is meant for those attending meetings or corporate events. Choosing the wrong type can lead to entry issues, so ensure your choice reflects your true purpose of travel.

Processing Overview

Arrival Reminders

To make your entry at Yangon or Mandalay as smooth as possible, please follow these tips:

• Print your approval letter in colour if possible for better clarity.
• Check that your passport is valid for at least half a year.
• Have your return flight details ready to show the officer.
• Carry some local currency or USD for immediate expenses upon landing.

Mandatory Documents

The requirements are simple but strict. You need a digital passport-sized photo and a scan of your passport. Business travellers also need to provide a company registration of the inviting entity in Myanmar. For a full list of specifications, visit the document requirements page.

Understanding the Fees

Fees are non-refundable and vary based on the visa type and the processing speed you choose. Whether you are a solo traveller or a corporate group, the costs are paid during the online application. These fees cover the cost of verifying your identity and background before granting entry permission.

Checking Your Status

After you submit your request, you can check the progress at any time. All you need is your passport number and the reference code sent to your email. This ensures you are never left wondering about the status of your travel plans.

Extension and Overstay Policies

If you stay beyond the 14-day exemption or your 28-day visa, you will face fines. Overstaying can also make it harder to visit Myanmar in the future. If you need to stay longer, seek a formal extension from the immigration department in a major city before your time runs out.
