There are 2 types of visas available for Myanmar:

  • Tourist e-visa for Myanmar.
  • Business e-visa for Myanmar.

Each of these has a different purpose, as mentioned below.

Tourist e-visa for Myanmar

The Tourist e-visa is a convenient online alternative to visiting an embassy for leisure travel. Usually processed within 3 business days, it is a single-entry visa valid for 90 days, allowing a maximum stay of 28 days. If you leave and wish to return, you must submit a new Tourist e-visa application for Myanmar. 

Business e-visa for Myanmar

The Business e-visa is required for professional visits, including meetings and commercial activities. Applicants are requested to provide a letter of invitation from their associated Myanmar organisation. Valid for 90 days, this single-entry visa permits a stay of up to 70 days. Re-entry after departure requires a new Myanmar Business e-visa Application.

3 Categories of e-Visa Processing Time

  • Normal processing: The e-visa for this visa takes 6 - 8 Working Days.
  • Rush processing: The visa processing time is between 4 - 6 Working Days.
  • Super Rush processing - If you have sudden plans to visit Myanmar and need a visa within 2 - 4 Working Days, apply for the super express e-visa.

Note: The visa for Myanmar will be issued from 9 am to 4:30 pm every Monday to Friday, except at lunchtime and on public holidays, according to Myanmar’s time zone, which is GMT + 6:30. If you apply after working hours, it will be accepted, processed, and completed the next day.
