Myanmar Resumes E-Visa Service for Tourists
|
(26 May 2022, 11:45 +07)
Myanmar has resumed accepting tourist e-visa
applications, more than two years after the country suspended the
service.
Arrivals must
be fully vaccinated and present proof of having received a second COVID19
vaccine at
least 14 days prior to arrival.

They must also provide evidence of
a negative COVID19 PCR test result from no more than 72 hours
prior to departure and purchase a travel insurance policy covering COVID19 through Myanmar Insurance.
On arrival, all
visitors must take a COVID19 rapid antigen test costing around 15000
ks (USD 8). If negative, the traveller can continue their trip, but if
positive they must be isolated in a designated government hospital
or hotel which is covered by the health insurance purchased.
Visitors also need proof of a return ticket from Myanmar and
the hotel booking must be attached to the online visa application.
Myanmar’s tourism industry has been battered by the pandemic and
politics. Reopening the e-visa service for tourists on 20 May 2022 is a small, yet
very welcome
step in
reviving the extremely important tourism sector.
