E-Visa for Myanmar

I will travel to Myanmar in January and as you all probably know, a visa is needed for that. I was very pleased to read that there’s a E-Visa available, because I always worry about my passport. So I choose that way.

Under evisa.moip.gov.mm it can be applied for the visa and with a little preparation it only takes a few minutes.

Required things:

• Passport
• Credit card
• Accommodation
• Digital photograph

The picture must be prepared. Required is a picture taken from the front which a neutral face, similar to a biometric picture. Size should be 4,6 x 3,8 cm, I would recommend preparing it using a program.

There’s a preview on the website, it shows a little “widthened” picture, but there’s no need to worry there’s a better preview on the confirmation site. If there’s something wrong with the picture the process has to be started from the beginning, so the picture should be done first.

When all data is checked, the site forwards to a payment website. It uses Verified by Visa, so it’s required to register for that, if it has never been used before. The website finally displays a tracking number.

Just after the application I received a confirmation mail about the successful application. And only a day later I received the Approval-Letter. That was super fast and I really liked the process. It was easy and there was no need to worry about my passport.

Don’t Panic!
