Visa and Immigration

Foreign investors, foreign employees and their family members need to acquire business visas before entering Myanmar. There are three ways to apply for a business visa. It can be applied at the Myanmar Embassies of respective countries, and alternatively it can be applied online (http://evisa.moip.gov.mm) or at the airport on arrival. If a business visa holder plans to stay longer, a multiple special re-entry visa needs to be applied at the One Stop Service Center of the Thilawa SEZ. At the time when the multiple special re-entry visa is applied, stay permit needs to be applied simultaneously. For the first applicants, six-month multiple special re-entry visa (with the stay permit for the same period) can be issued. Starting from the second application, twelve-month multiple special re-entry visa (with the stay permit for the same period) can be issued.
