Myanmar To Resume Issuing Tourist E-Visas Starting May 15

YANGON, May 12 (NNN-MNA) – Myanmar will resume accepting tourist e-visa applications, starting this Sunday, more than two years after the country suspended all new e-visa applications, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our Online e-Visa service will resume with effect from May 15, 2022, for tourist visa applications,” the Immigration and Population Ministry said, today.

The move came after the country’s resumption of international commercial flight operations, on Apr 17, and the reopening of its borders to international travellers.

The official data, released by the Ministry of Health, also showed the country’s COVID-19 daily positivity rate has been below one percent for more than a month since Apr 4.

The country resumed accepting applications for business e-visas on Apr 1.

Myanmar launched the online visa application platform in Sept, 2014.
