Our guide to the Myanmar visa from Australia
Australian travellers must obtain an e-Visa before departing for Myanmar: the application is made entirely online on the official portal, before boarding. A passport valid for at least six months is required.
Myanmar issues Australian nationals an electronic visa (e-Visa) that must be applied for in advance on the government website. No embassy visit is needed, but the authorisation must be approved before travel and presented on arrival. This guide sets out the online procedure, the documents to gather and the precautions specific to this destination.
Do Australian citizens need a visa?
Yes: holders of an Australian passport need a tourist e-Visa to enter Myanmar. This electronic visa is applied for in advance and, for Australians, replaces the submission of a file at an embassy.
How much does an e-visa for Myanmar cost from Australia?
The official fee for an e-visa for Myanmar is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
What does a visa for Myanmar really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for an e-visa for Myanmar?
The exact list for Myanmar is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Myanmar before you apply.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Australian passport valid for at least six months on entry, a recent ID photo on a light background, an address of accommodation in Myanmar and a return or onward ticket. The fee amount and the exact validity of the e-Visa must be checked directly on the official portal, which remains the only up-to-date reference.

How and where to apply
The application is made exclusively online on the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm, run by the Ministry of Immigration.

Where do you apply for a visa for Myanmar from Australia?
An e-visa for Myanmar is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
You live in Australia on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Australia but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Myanmar take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing and tips
Lodge your application well before departure: approval times can vary and are not guaranteed. Do not buy non-refundable tickets until the e-Visa is approved. Review the Australian Smartraveller advice on the security situation in Myanmar, which may restrict access to certain regions.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
The most frequent problems are a passport too close to expiry, a non-compliant photo, entering through a point not covered by the e-Visa, and travelling before the approval is received. Also confirm that your chosen entry point (airport or land border) is authorised for your visa type before booking.
