    Listed ordinary passports: mandatory preapproved, arrival-issued Tourist visa

    Myanmar’s live official Tourist Visa notice lists these ordinary-passport nationalities and territories. Applicants must obtain an online approval letter before travel, but the visa itself is issued and stamped at the Myanmar Immigration Arrival counter; the easier visa-free policies above take precedence.

    • Tourist route only: obtain an approved eVisa Approval Letter before travel. The current FAQ says the visa itself is issued and stamped in the passport at the Myanmar Immigration Arrival counter, so the normalized status is visa_on_arrival.
    • The Terms and Conditions say an eVisa Approval Letter is not a confirmed visa. Print it and present it to the Immigration Officer on arrival; the FAQ says it is not a walk-up Visa on Arrival desk process.
    • Only an ordinary passport is accepted, with at least six months’ validity; a return ticket and booking at registered accommodation are required. Kawthaung land-border applicants may present a trip plan instead of a return ticket.
    • Entry is limited to Yangon, Mandalay, or Nay Pyi Taw international airports and Kawthaung International Land Border Checkpoint. The eVisa cannot be used for sea entry; cruises use a tour-agent pre-arranged visa-on-arrival route.
    • The approval letter is valid for 90 days from issue; the visa permits one tourist entry and up to 28 days after arrival. Processing takes at least three working days.
    • Travel to restricted areas requires separate confirmation. This policy does not establish business, work, residence, study, transit, crew, diplomatic/official/special-document, security, or individual-admissibility rights.

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.

    Sammarinese ordinary passports: Myanmar advance visitor visa

    San Marino's current Foreign Affairs guidance directs Sammarinese visitors to obtain a Myanmar visa from the Embassy in Rome before travel.

    • The current guidance specifies the Embassy of Myanmar in Rome and a passport valid at least six months from arrival.
    • Work, residence, diplomatic, official and special-document treatment are outside this ordinary short-visitor baseline.

    Seychellois passports: named advance visitor-visa cohort

    Seychelles' July 2025 passport-holder schedule expressly requires these destinations to issue a visa before entry, rather than treating an online form or airport process as the visitor baseline.

    • Applies to the ordinary Seychellois passport short-visitor baseline in the Ministry's current named list.
    • The schedule's wording requires a visa before entry but does not establish an electronic or border-issued route, so this is normalized only as advance visa required.
    • Mission availability, individual grant, document, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official and special-passport treatment remain outside scope.

    Ethiopian ordinary passports: Myanmar pre-authorised tourist visa issued at arrival

    Myanmar's current tourism-ministry schedule expressly names Ethiopia in its ordinary-passport Tourist Visa cohort. The current immigration FAQ requires pretravel electronic application and approval but states that the visa is issued and stamped at the Immigration Arrival counter. Under the project issuance-point taxonomy, this is visa_on_arrival rather than evisa.

    • Ordinary Ethiopian passport only; travel documents are not accepted.
    • Tourist purpose, one entry and a 28-day stay from arrival.
    • Apply and pay online before travel; approval-letter validity is 90 days from issue and processing is at least three Myanmar working days.
    • Passport must be valid at least six months; return-ticket and accommodation evidence are required.
    • Present the approval letter at arrival. The MOIP FAQ says the visa is issued and stamped at the Myanmar Immigration Arrival counter.
    • Use only Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw international airports or Kawthaung International Land Border Checkpoint; cruise/seaport uses a separate arranged-VOA route.
    • The FAQ calls the product eVisa and says not to queue at a visa-sticker desk. This wording conflicts with its express frontier issuance statement; status follows the project's issuance-point taxonomy.
