Discover visa requirements for your trip
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. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival, but the pre-arranged e-Visa remains the recommended and safest route.
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. You open a file, upload a passport photo and a copy of the passport bio-data page, pay for the application and wait for approval by email. Print the approval letter to present at immigration.
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.
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.
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.
