Q: Who needs the Myanmar Business eVisa?

Business travellers sponsored by a Myanmar-registered company must obtain this eVisa before departure. Transit passengers who remain airside are exempt. For general entry rules see Myanmar visa information and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs guidance at mofa.gov.mm .

Q: What happens if I arrive without a valid business eVisa?

If you arrive without the correct eVisa approval letter you may be denied entry, required to obtain a visa via your embassy, or requested to return on the same flight. Airlines often refuse boarding without an approval letter. To avoid issues, apply in advance and carry printed approvals.

Q: Can I edit or correct my application after submission?

Small corrections may be possible before the acknowledgement email; after payment the official portal. If you discover an error, contact DoVisa support immediately to assist with re-submission or to advise next steps to avoid arrival delays.

Q: Is a departure eVisa also required?

No — this eVisa is an entry approval letter only. There is no separate outbound departure eVisa to submit; final exit formalities are handled at immigration when you depart Myanmar. Refer to the official portal at evisa.moip.gov.mm for full details.

Q: Which airports and seaports accept this document?

Present your approval letter at immigration at any approved entry point. The eVisa is accepted at Yangon International Airport (RGN), Mandalay International Airport (MDL), and Nay Pyi Taw International Airport (NYT). Some land checkpoints (for example Kawthaung) are listed for specific visa types; confirm port eligibility on the official eVisa page.

Q: Can I apply from my mobile phone?

Yes — you can complete the application on a mobile device via the official portal, but we recommend using a desktop for uploading company registration documents and photos. DoVisa's mobile-friendly process will guide you through each required upload and check format requirements.

Q: How far in advance should I apply for the Myanmar Business eVisa?

Apply at least 72 hours before travel, though the official processing time for regular applications is a minimum of 3 working days. For best results, submit 7–14 days ahead to allow time for invitation validation and any corrections. Start your application .

1) Register at the official eVisa portal or use DoVisa. 2) Complete personal and passport details, upload passport bio‑page, photo, and company invitation. 3) Pay the government fee and submit. 4) Receive emailed approval letter (PDF) and print it for immigration checks.

What Is the Myanmar Business eVisa?

The Myanmar Business eVisa is an official electronic visa approval letter issued through Myanmar's eVisa portal for foreign nationals travelling to Myanmar for business purposes. Launched to streamline pre-travel authorisation, the online eVisa replaced many older paper-based pre-clearance routines and allows applicants to upload invitation and company documents digitally via evisa.moip.gov.mm.

To apply you register on the official portal, complete the secure application, upload a passport bio‑page and company invitation, and pay the government fee. Approved applicants receive an emailed approval letter (PDF) that you must print and present to immigration on arrival — airlines also commonly check the approval at departure. DoVisa provides guided completion, document checks, and step-by-step support to reduce errors before submission.

The eVisa works alongside entry checks at immigration: the approval letter is not a passport stamp and does not guarantee entry — final clearance is made by Myanmar Immigration at the port of entry. The approval letter is usually valid for 90 days from issue; the typical business stay granted is up to 70 days. If your visit requires a longer or different visa type, apply through the appropriate channel or contact the Myanmar Ministry of Foreign Affairs for guidance.

Key facts: business applicants generally need a company invitation and a passport valid for at least 6 months. For full Myanmar entry rules see Myanmar visa information and the official eVisa portal at evisa.moip.gov.mm. Apply for your Myanmar Business eVisa now.

Myanmar Entry Requirements & Restrictions

Passport Validity

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival and have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Only passports are eligible for eVisa applications.

Vaccination & Yellow Fever

A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever transmission risk. Check CDC guidance for current country lists at CDC Burma travel health.

Customs & Prohibited Items

Myanmar restricts or prohibits certain imports — authorities list items such as counterfeit currency and goods, pornographic material, narcotics, and items that offend local laws. Note recent measures banning e-cigarettes; follow official customs guidance.

Currency Declaration

If you bring more than the equivalent of 10,000 US dollars in any foreign currency, you must declare it to Myanmar customs on arrival. Carry clean, undamaged US notes if you plan to pay fines or fees.

Travel Insurance & Health

Comprehensive travel insurance including medical evacuation is strongly recommended — healthcare outside Yangon and Mandalay is limited and evacuations can be required for serious conditions.

Travel Tips for Myanmar Visitors

Myanmar is served by several international airports and remains a cash-forward economy. Plan carefully, register travel plans, and check security advice before you go.

Main international airports: Yangon International Airport (RGN), Mandalay International Airport (MDL), Nay Pyi Taw International Airport (NYT).
Currency: Myanmar Kyat (MMK) — US dollars are widely used for major transactions in urban areas, but carry Kyat for local purchases.
Language: Burmese is the official language; English is commonly used in hotels, airports, and business settings.
Time zone: Myanmar Standard Time is GMT+6:30.
Best time to travel: November–February offers cooler, drier weather — monsoon season runs roughly May–October.
Local laws: Myanmar does not recognise dual nationality — keep travel documents accessible and follow local regulations.
Transfers: Domestic connections and road travel can be disrupted by security incidents or seasonal weather — allow extra time and confirm schedules when connecting to international flights.
Prepare documents: Have a printed copy of your eVisa approval letter and company invitation for immigration checks.
