A typical file includes an application form, photographs, and evidence of accommodation, financial resources and insurance. Additional documents may be requested depending on your circumstances and the purpose of travel. For the full document list and applicable fees, consult the official portal or the relevant embassy.

Arrange an appointment with the relevant embassy or consulate before departure, then follow the procedure set out by that authority. Complete the required application form and submit the file in accordance with official instructions. Check the official portal or the relevant embassy for the exact process.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Myanmar, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Myanmar 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.

Processing times vary depending on the application and the competent authority. Submit the application well before the planned travel date, allowing for those variations. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa has been issued.

A common mistake is submitting documents that are incomplete or inconsistent with the planned trip. Check that the form, photographs, accommodation evidence, financial evidence and insurance proof meet official requirements. Do not confuse the associated length of stay with visa validity or processing time.
