Discover visa requirements for your trip
Canadian nationals need a visa for Myanmar; it is obtained online through the official e-Visa before departure.
Travellers from Canada must obtain a visa to visit Myanmar, whether for tourism or business. The process goes through the e-Visa, applied for on the official government portal before the flight. The passport must be valid for at least six months, and the authorisation must be shown on arrival.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Canadian citizen must hold a visa to enter Myanmar. The electronic e-Visa, valid for tourism and business, is applied for entirely online before the trip. Make sure your passport remains valid for at least six months after your intended date of entry.
How and where to apply
Applications are made on the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm: you complete the form, upload a photo and your passport, then pay by card. You then receive an approval letter by email to print and present to immigration on arrival. Use only the official Ministry of Immigration site.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Canadian passport valid for at least six months, a recent digital passport photo, an address of accommodation in Myanmar and a valid email address. The fee depends on the visa type (tourism or business) and is not confirmed here: check the official rate on evisa.moip.gov.mm at the time of application.
Processing and practical tips
Processing time for the e-Visa is not guaranteed, so submit your application several working days before departure. The e-Visa is valid only at designated entry points (Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw airports): confirm your flight lands at one of them. Also review the Government of Canada's travel advice on the security situation before you go.
Common mistakes to avoid
Avoid unofficial intermediary sites that charge inflated fees: only evisa.moip.gov.mm is valid. Do not assume you can enter at a land border with an e-Visa without confirming it first. Finally, respect the validity window of the authorisation, which often requires entering the country within a set period after issue.
