E-visa required — no visa on arrival
Libyan passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival at any Myanmar airport. You must apply for an e-visa online before you travel. Processing takes 3–5 working days, so plan ahead.
Keep your arrival card stub
When you enter Myanmar, immigration will give you a small card stub. Keep it with your passport — you'll need to hand it back when you leave the country.
What happens at the border

Go to the official Myanmar e-visa website (evisa.moip.gov.mm). Fill in your details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $50 USD) by credit card. You'll receive a confirmation email. Approval usually takes 3–5 working days.
