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.
