Our guide to the Myanmar visa from Ireland
Yes, citizens of Ireland must obtain an e-Visa before travelling to Myanmar. The application is made online on the official portal of the Government of Myanmar, which sets the fees, the documents to provide and the processing time.
For Irish travellers, a tourist stay in Myanmar therefore involves an electronic application that must be filed and approved before departure. Fees and processing times are not confirmed here: consult the official portal and beware of third-party websites selling the same procedure at a higher price.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An e-Visa is required for Irish citizens to enter Myanmar. It is requested online before the trip and must be approved before boarding; it is tied to the passport used for the application. For a business stay or a purpose other than tourism, check the appropriate category on the official portal.
How much does an e-visa for Myanmar cost from Ireland?
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 generally need a recent digital passport photo and a scanned copy of the passport’s identity page, in the formats indicated on the portal. Information about your itinerary or accommodation may also be requested. The fee amount is not specified here: refer to the official portal, which displays it before payment.
How to apply for an e-visa for Myanmar from Ireland
- 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 to apply
First check the address of the official Myanmar e-Visa portal, for example with the Embassy of Myanmar responsible for Ireland. Then fill in the online form, upload the requested documents and pay the fees by an accepted method. Keep the application reference and the emails received until the decision.
Where do you apply for a visa for Myanmar from Ireland?
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 Ireland on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Ireland 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 times and tips
No processing time is confirmed here: check the time indicated on the portal and apply early. Preferably book services that can be changed until the e-Visa is approved. Keep the printed approval with your passport and consult the travel advice published by the Irish authorities before leaving.
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
Intermediary websites posing as the official portal are the first trap: they charge for an extra service with no guarantee of faster processing. Other mistakes include a non-compliant photo, a mistyped passport number or an application submitted too late. Finally, do not leave without having received the approval, even if the application was sent.
