Apply for eVisa Online
Go to the official Myanmar eVisa website (evisa.moip.gov.mm). Fill in your personal details, passport info, and travel dates. Upload a digital passport photo and pay the fee (around USD 50 for tourism). Processing takes 3–5 business days, sometimes longer. You'll receive an approval letter by email — print it or save a PDF on your phone.

Prepare Your Documents
Before you leave, gather: your passport (valid 6+ months), the eVisa approval, return/onward ticket, first night hotel booking, and travel insurance docs. Keep digital copies on your phone and paper copies in your carry-on.

At the airport (Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw), go to the 'eVisa' lane. Hand over your passport and eVisa approval. The officer will check your documents, take a photo, and stamp your passport. It usually takes 5–10 minutes. Have your return ticket and hotel booking ready in case they ask.

Collect Your Luggage and Exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel, then proceed through customs. There's usually a quick baggage scan. You're now free to enter Myanmar.
