Visa Requirements for Myanmar
Any trip to Myanmar requires a visa, so be sure to plan ahead if you want to visit.
However, it’s pretty easy to get a visa from the various Myanmar embassies around the world.
For US citizens, it’s quick and easy to get a visa from the Myanmar Embassy in Washington DC.
They usually turn around visa requests in a couple days and will use FedEx if you send them a FedEx label.
The form is in PDF format on their site. Note that the link to “e-Visa” has been broken for years now and never fixed.
When filling out the form, you’ll see lots of lines that don’t make sense about sponsors and such. They’re not important – just leave them blank. You should however include documentation of the hotels where you’re staying at.
You must pay with money order and NOT personal check or credit card.
Also, they’re very critical that your passport MUST have 2 blank pages – they will not use the special “endorsements” pages at the back of most US passports and will deny you a visa without these extra pages.
It’s also possible to get a visa in Bangkok but this is generally more difficult since the lines are erratic there and you may have to get up at 6AM to line up. Your closest Myanmar embassy is the easiest method for the visa.
