Burma to introduce eVisa system for tourists

Burma Government chooses to launch the system of online tourist visa application for tourists.

A tourist visa valid for 28 days will take five days to go through approval process and will cost US$50.

Yangon Airport will act as the only entry point for eVisa holders. However, the government intends to expand the entry points in the future.

Applicants have to provide a color photograph that is taken in the previous three months and passport having a validity of six months to be approved of eVisa letter, whose validity is three months from the date of issue.
