Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Submit the Online Application

Go to the official Republic of the Union of Myanmar eVisa portal. You must initiate a new application matching your travel intent—select either the 'Tourist Visa' (valid for up to 28 days of stay) or the 'Business Visa' (valid for up to 70 days) category.

2

Upload Required Documents

Complete the digital form accurately and upload all requested documents. This strictly entails a high-quality color scan of the biographical page of your Zimbabwean passport (which must be valid for at least 6 months), and a recent, bare-headed color photograph matching passport specifications. If applying for a business visa, you will also need an official letter of invitation and the inviting company's registration certificate.

3

Pay and Obtain the Approval Letter

Settle the eVisa processing fee via a secure online payment using an internationally accepted credit card. If approved (the evaluation process takes up to 3 working days), your official 'eVisa Approval Letter' will be sent to your email. You must print this document in physical form and present it alongside your passport to immigration authorities upon your arrival in Myanmar to receive your final passport stamp.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover Myanmar (Burma)

Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a mystical Southeast Asian nation known as the 'Golden Land' due to its thousands of gold-plated pagodas. From the ancient temple plains of Bagan and the floating gardens of Inle Lake to the bustling former capital of Yangon, it offers a deeply spiritual and culturally rich experience.

Yangon

The largest city and former capital, home to the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda, colonial-era architecture, and vibrant street markets.

Best Time: November to February (Cool, dry season; best for exploring and clear skies)

Currency: Burmese Kyat (MMK)

Daily Budget: $30-70/day

Safety & Scams

Exercise high caution; avoid travel to regions with ongoing unrest (Rakhine, Kayin, Sagaing, and many border areas) due to political instability and armed conflict; monitor local news closely; petty crime can occur in tourist hubs; only use official exchange counters; medical facilities are very limited, especially outside Yangon.

Getting Around

Domestic flights are the safest and fastest way to travel between major hubs (Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan); long-distance buses (JJ Express) are high-quality; taxis and ride-apps (Grab) are common in cities; Inle Lake is explored via motorized longtail boats; rental cars usually come with a driver.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect for Buddhism is paramount; always remove shoes and socks before entering any religious building or home; do not touch anyone on the head; use both hands to give or receive items from monks; dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered); avoid political discussions in public.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital infrastructure faces challenges; connectivity can be inconsistent and is often monitored; 4G is available in major cities via MPT and Ooredoo but may face shutdowns; fiber internet is present in upscale hotels; some remote areas have no service.
