All European travellers to Myanmar must possess their own visa. This also applies to children. Only citizens of Myanmar and a number of other countries in Asia can enter Myanmar solely with their passport, without needing a visa.

There are two categories of visas for Myanmar: regular and electronic. Through this website, the electronic visas (for tourism) can be applied for.

Electronic visas are suitable for holidays in Myanmar lasting up to 28 days. Only travellers planning to stay in the country for longer than this period, or who do not meet the requirements of the electronic visa, need to apply for a standard visa. An appointment needs to be made with the Myanmar embassy in London. Regular visas are affixed to the passport by an embassy employee. Electronic visas are sent by e-mail, and can be printed by the travellers themselves.

It is important to print the visa and keep it with the passport during the trip to Myanmar. Other than that, you don’t need to do anything after approval.

Right after you have completed the payment for your visa application, you will receive a confirmation by e-mail. This e-mail contains a link to your personal status page on e-Visa.co.uk. Here you check what the status of your single or group application is.

Was your visa not issued within the expected term? The status page will tell you if and when you should contact us about this, and how to do it.

The immigration service processes all applications individually, even if you submitted a single application form for multiple travellers. Occasionally, there can be quite a bit of difference between the moments of approval between the various visas from a single group application. This can be the case if one or several people are subjected to a manual extended background check. If an application for a traveller takes more time than those of the other travellers in the group, this does not mean that the visa application for this traveller has a higher chance of being rejected.
