To visit Myanmar, you need to apply for a visa. It is now possible to apply for an e-Visa instead of the traditional embassy visa. How do I obtain an e-Visa for Myanmar, and how long does it take?

Applying for an e-Visa

Applying for an e-Visa is a simple process, avoiding the need to travel to an embassy (often located a long way from home) and having to wait, sometimes for long hours. The Burmese government recently introduced an official portal to apply for an e-Visa with complete peace of mind. The website has been up and running since 2014, and is the simplest and most functional way of obtaining the precious sesame for your trip to Myanmar.

The application form on the site is only available in English. You must therefore be particularly careful to fill in all the required fields correctly to avoid your application being refused or delayed because of an error. To avoid any errors, or simply to make the process even easier, you can call on the services of an agency specialising in visa applications. For a small fee, these agencies will take care of your application to the Burmese authorities, acting as an intermediary between you and the government. Once your application has been validated, the agency will send you your e-Visa, again by e-mail for greater ease and efficiency. Why not make life even easier for yourself and use a specialist agency?

Fast turnaround times

Once your e-Visa application has been completed and validated by the Burmese authorities, it must be accepted. If this is the case, you will receive your e-Visa by e-mail just a few days after completing the form. As a general rule, you should allow less than a week between validation of the application and receipt of the e-Visa in your inbox. In most cases, the e-visa is returned to you within 3 working days.

You then need to print it out and present it on arrival in Burma. All in all, applying for an e-Visa is relatively simple and within everyone's reach. It allows you to enter Burma legally and enjoy an extraordinary stay in a fascinating country. Whether you apply yourself or with the help of a specialist agency, you can expect a quick and straightforward result.
