Our guide to the Myanmar visa from Canada
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 much does an e-visa for Myanmar cost from Canada?
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 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.
How to apply for an e-visa for Myanmar from Canada
- 1Fill in the form on the destination’s official portal.
- 2Upload the required documents (passport, photo, supporting papers).
- 3Pay the fee online by card.
- 4Receive the authorisation by email, usually without a consular visit.
- 5Show the authorisation, printed or on your phone, at boarding.
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.
Where do you apply for a visa for Myanmar from Canada?
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 Canada on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Canada 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 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.
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 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.
