If you are visiting Myanmar via cruise or boat, please contact your travel agent or your nearest Myanmar embassy for a pre-arranged visa on arrival, as you cannot use the Myanmar Visa to enter the country via seaport.
How long is the Myanmar Tourist Visa valid for?
The Myanmar Visa is valid for 90 days after issued. It is a Single entry visa and allows a maximum stay of 28 days in total within the 90-day validity window.
If you already know your arrival date in Myanmar, you can start your visa application with iVisa and we will queue your application and initiate it at the right time so your visa is valid during your entire stay in Myanmar.
If you still don’t know the dates of your trip, then we recommend that you confirm them before applying for your visa.

How do I apply for the Myanmar Tourist Visa online?
Applying for your tourist visa won’t take you longer than 15 minutes. You just need to fill out an online form with your personal information and the details of your trip.
Once you’re done, we will ask you to double-check that all the information is correct to avoid any setbacks in your application. After that, you’ll need to upload the supporting documents and pay the visa fee. Make sure that the scans of the supporting documents are clear and legible, as it is one of the main reasons for visa rejection. Avoid uploading blurred or smudged scans.
Once we receive your visa application, one of our visa experts will carefully review it and make sure that there are no inconsistencies before processing it. If we find any issues, we'll reach out to you to fix them free of charge before processing your visa. You will receive your valid visa via email once it’s ready.

- The child must be accompanied by the parent/guardian.
- The child must be included in the parent/guardian’s passport.
- The details of the child must be included in the parent/guardian’s tourist visa.
In any case, you can easily add your child to your visa application process when you apply with iVisa.
Do I need a tourist Visa if I’m transiting through Myanmar?
Only if you wish to leave the transit area. If you remain in the transit area at the airport and have a valid passport and an onward ticket, then you won’t need to apply for a tourist or transit visa.
If you have a long layover or want to leave the transit area, then you should contact the nearest Myanmar embassy or consulate for further information about your visa needs.
What are the visa-exempt countries?
If you are a national from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, you don’t require a visa for a tourist visit of up to 14 days, if entering and departing from Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw International Airports.
If you would like to stay in Myanmar for over 14 days or wish to enter or exit from ANY of the land border checkpoints, then use our visa checker tool to see which visa you'll need based on your trip.
