Myanmar eVisa Fee Structure

The cost of a Myanmar eVisa depends on two factors: the type of visa you need and the processing speed you select. The government fee is set by the Ministry of Immigration and Population.

Note: Third-party service providers may charge additional service fees on top of the government fee. Always verify the total cost before payment.

Understanding Processing Times

The processing time begins when the application is submitted and payment is confirmed. Several factors can affect how long it takes:

Factors That Speed Up Processing

• Complete and accurate application with no errors
• Clear, properly formatted photo meeting specifications
• All required documents uploaded correctly
• Applying during non-holiday periods

Factors That Delay Processing

• Incomplete or inaccurate application information
• Photo not meeting the required specifications
• Missing or unclear document uploads
• Myanmar public holidays (eVisa office closures)
• High volume periods (peak travel seasons)
• Additional security checks required for certain nationalities

Fee Comparison: eVisa vs Other Options

Non-Refundable Policy

All Myanmar eVisa fees are strictly non-refundable. This includes situations where:

• The application is rejected by immigration authorities
• The applicant decides not to travel
• Travel plans change after submission
• The application contains errors requiring a new submission

Review all information carefully before completing payment.

Stay Extension Fees

Business visa holders who need to extend their stay can apply through the eStay Extension system at estay.moip.gov.mm. The extension service applies to all categories of business visa, including embassy-issued, VOA, and eVisa business visas.

What Your Fee Covers

The eVisa fee covers the complete processing of your visa application by Myanmar immigration authorities. This includes the initial review of your application and supporting documents, background verification checks, the generation of your approval letter, and the electronic registration of your visa in Myanmar’s immigration system.

Unlike some countries that charge separate application and visa fees, Myanmar’s eVisa fee is a single all-inclusive charge. There are no additional stamping fees or arrival taxes for eVisa holders, though you may encounter other standard fees at the airport such as departure tax (usually included in your airline ticket).

Bank Charges and Currency Conversion

When paying for your eVisa with a non-USD card, be aware of potential additional charges:

• Currency conversion fee: Your bank may charge 1-3% for converting your local currency to USD
• International transaction fee: Some cards charge a flat fee or percentage for international purchases
• Dynamic currency conversion: If offered the choice to pay in your local currency at checkout, always choose USD to avoid unfavorable exchange rates

To minimize fees, consider using a credit card with no foreign transaction fees, or a card that offers favorable international exchange rates.

Group Applications

If you are traveling with a group, each person must submit an individual eVisa application. There is no group application option or group discount. However, you can use the same email address for multiple applications if you are managing the process for family members or travel companions.

Regional Fee Variations

The Myanmar eVisa fee is standardized regardless of your nationality or country of application. Whether you apply from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Japan, or any other eligible country, the government fee remains $50 USD for tourist visas and $70 USD for business visas. This universal pricing eliminates confusion and ensures fairness across all applicants.

However, the total cost you ultimately pay may vary depending on your bank’s foreign transaction policies, currency exchange rates at the time of payment, and whether you use a third-party application service. Travelers from countries with weaker currencies against the USD should budget for the conversion overhead.

Refund and Reapplication Policy

Understanding the refund policy before applying is important because all Myanmar eVisa fees are strictly non-refundable. This policy applies universally, including in the following scenarios:

• Application rejected due to incomplete documentation
• Application rejected due to ineligibility
• Applicant decides to cancel travel plans
• Duplicate application submitted in error
• Incorrect information requiring a new application

If your application is rejected, you may submit a new application with corrected or additional documentation. A new fee will be charged for each application. There is no limit on the number of times you can reapply, but repeated rejections may attract additional scrutiny from immigration authorities.
