The public FAQ and 25-page application guide expose required steps, the MRZ name rule, at least 6 months of passport validity, JPG/PDF uploads up to 2 MB and the supporting-document lists. The actual personal-information form requires an activated account and publishes no readable text-field regexes, character limits or validation error strings. No invented pattern is used and no local validator is mounted.
Choose Tourist for a holiday. Business requires an invitation, requisition letter and company records. A religious visit must use an embassy or consulate route. The type cannot be changed after payment.
Check the current list for the exact visa type. Eligibility for one does not prove eligibility for the other.
The official guide says to verify at least 6 months remain. If the passport will be renewed, do it before applying.
Copy the full name from the two machine-readable lines at the bottom of the bio page. Surname and given-name order is not important if the value matches.
Enter the number from the passport you will carry. Review it before payment; paid applications cannot be corrected.
Upload a recent digital passport-sized photo. The guide states JPG or PDF and a 2 MB file limit.
Upload a readable copy of the bio-data page. Use JPG or PDF no larger than 2 MB.
The FAQ requires a hotel booking for a Tourist eVisa. Save a readable document rather than a link that needs another person's account.
Upload the ticket showing how you leave Myanmar. For Kawthaung land entry, the FAQ accepts boat and trip-plan evidence.
Choose Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw International Airport, or Kawthaung land checkpoint. Do not assume a former or nearby crossing still accepts eVisa.
Use an inbox you control for activation, acknowledgment and the Approval Letter. Review the name, nationality, passport number, email and visa type before paying.
The official site shows a confirmation on screen. Screenshot it — that's your backup.
Within a few minutes from a gov.mm address, with the record details.
After approval, download and print one copy of the Approval Letter. Present it with the same passport at Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw airport, or Kawthaung land checkpoint, for the visa stamp.
Screenshot is fine. PDF is fine. Even the email app open on your phone is fine.
Rare. Officer looks you up by passport number — your record is already in the system.
The public FAQ and guide expose the steps, documents, upload size and MRZ name rule. The personal-information form needs an activated account and exposes no readable regexes, character limits or official validation errors. This page invents none and mounts no local validator.
1. Visa type. Choose Tourist for a holiday. Business and religious visits use different documents or routes. The visa type cannot be changed after payment.
2. Nationality eligibility. Check the current Tourist list, not the Business list. The FAQ lists 100 Tourist nationalities and 54 Business nationalities.
3. Passport validity. Confirm at least 6 months remain. The issued eVisa is tied to the passport in the application.
4. Full name. Copy the full name from the two MRZ lines at the bottom of the passport bio page. Use English characters only.
5. Passport number. Use the passport you will carry. Review the number before payment because paid applications cannot be corrected.
6. Face photo. Upload a recent digital passport-sized photograph.
7. Passport copy. Upload a readable scan of the bio-data page. The guide accepts JPG or PDF up to 2 MB for each upload.
8. Hotel booking. Upload the booking for the stay. Tourist and Business applications have different document lists.
9. Return ticket. Provide evidence showing how you leave Myanmar. For Kawthaung entry, the FAQ accepts a boat ticket and trip plan.
10. Port of entry. Choose Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw International Airport, or Kawthaung land checkpoint.
