How to get a Myanmar Visa for Indian nationals

If you're reading this, your trip to Myanmar may be just around the corner, and you're likely trying to get your travel documentation ready.

In September 2014, Myanmar introduced the Tourist eVisa system, making it easier for travelers, including Indian nationals, to get their travel documentation without visiting a consulate or embassy.

However, there are a few key requirements to be aware of, and we’ve outlined them for you here.

Do Indian citizens need a Myanmar eVisa?

Yes, Indian nationals need a Myanmar Visa to enter the country, but you don’t need a paper visa. The Myanmar eVisa is a digital travel document that makes the process much easier.

You can apply for the eVisa if you plan to arrive at Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw International airports, or one of five land border checkpoints: Tachileik, Myawaddy, Kawthaung, Tamu-Moreh, or Rih Khaw Dar-Zokhawthar.

If you are traveling for business purposes, apply for the Myanmar Business eVisa instead.
