Enter only through designated airports
Your eVisa is only valid for entry at Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airports. If you arrive at any other airport or a land border, you'll be denied entry.
Keep a printed copy of your eVisa
Immigration officers prefer a paper copy. Print it before you leave. A digital copy on your phone is a backup, but a printout is smoother.
