Myanmar to resume issuing tourist visas from May 15

Myanmar to resume travel and accept tourist e-visa applications beginning Sunday (May 15).

The Immigration and Population Ministry said on Thursday, “Our online e-visa service will resume with effect from May 15, 2022, for tourist visa applications.”

Travellers need a certificate of vaccination, negative results from a COVID-19 RT-PCR test taken shortly before their flight and a travel insurance policy. They must also take an ATK rapid test after arrival.

Myanmar hosted 4.36 million visitor arrivals in 2019, before the pandemic, but the number fell to 903,000 in 2020, the latest year for which official statistics are available.

In September 2014, Myanmar launched the online visa application platform and is now again accepting e-visa applications from this website.
