eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Turkish passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Myanmar. You must apply for an eVisa online before you travel. Without it, you'll be denied boarding or entry.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Myanmar, not from your departure date. Double-check before you apply.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Myanmar eVisa website (https://evisa.moip.gov.mm/). Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $50 USD for tourism) with a credit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but can be faster.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa PDF. Print a copy and save a digital version on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival.
3
Arrive at the airport in Myanmar
At Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airports, go to the immigration counter. Hand over your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket if asked. They'll stamp you in. The whole process takes about 10–15 minutes if you have everything ready.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. There's a customs declaration if you're carrying large amounts of cash or restricted items. Otherwise, just walk through the green channel.
