In the past, e-visas were only granted to tourists.
“We are planning to open the e-visa system at border gates. Currently, e-visas are permitted at Yangon International Airport. In near future, e-visas will be granted,” said an official from Immigration and Population Department.
Visitors from around 100 countries, including the United Arab Emirates, can apply for e-visas to enter Myanmar.
The lifespan of an e-visa for business travellers is 70 days. The fee is US$50.
