Our guide to the Myanmar visa from France
Yes, French travellers need a visa for Myanmar. The tourist e-Visa, applied for online before departure, is the recommended route.
French nationals planning to visit Myanmar (Yangon, Bagan or Inle Lake) must obtain a visa before travelling. The official e-Visa is applied for entirely online through Myanmar's Ministry of Immigration portal. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Also check up-to-date travel advice before you go.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. French citizens are not visa-exempt for Myanmar, so a tourist e-Visa is required. You apply online at evisa.moip.gov.mm before departure. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
How much does an e-visa for Myanmar cost from France?
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
You will need a French passport valid for at least 6 months, a recent passport photo in the required format, and your stay details (dates, accommodation). The fee and validity period are set by the official portal: check them when you apply, as they can change over time.

How and where to apply
Apply through the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm: complete the form, upload a photo and a copy of your passport, then pay online. You then receive an approval letter to print and present to immigration. Some entry points may offer other arrangements, but the e-Visa remains the safest route.
Where do you apply for a visa for Myanmar from France?
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 France on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in France 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
Submit your application several working days before departure, as processing is not instant. Print the e-Visa approval letter and check that you are arriving through an entry point authorised for this visa. Also review French government travel advice on the security situation.
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
Problems often stem from a passport valid for under 6 months, an application on an unofficial third-party site, or forgetting to print the approval letter. Choosing the wrong visa type (tourist vs business) or an unauthorised entry point is also common.
