Myanmar is not open visa-free to British citizens. From the UK, tourists apply for an e-Visa on the government portal evisa.moip.gov.mm before travelling. Your passport must be valid for at least six months. Given the situation in some regions, also check the UK government's foreign travel advice.

Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Myanmar before you apply.

You live in the United Kingdom on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the United Kingdom 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.
