Summary
- Visa type
- Myanmar tourist eVisa, applied for online before travel
- Stay limit
- 28 days from the date of arrival
- Entries
- Single entry (approval letter valid 90 days from issue)
Pakistan is on the official list of countries whose ordinary passport holders are eligible to apply for a Myanmar tourist eVisa, published by the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism. Pakistan is not among the visa-exempt countries, so you need the eVisa before travelling. The approval letter is valid for 90 days from issue, allows a single entry and a stay of 28 days, and can only be used at Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw international airports or the Kawthaung land border.
Myanmar is known for the temple plains of Bagan, the golden Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon and the floating gardens of Inle Lake. Pakistani passport holders are not visa-exempt, but they are on the official list of nationalities eligible for an online tourist eVisa.
The list is published by the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism and covers 100 countries, with Pakistan at number 72. Visa-free tourist entry applies only to a handful of ASEAN neighbours, so a Pakistani traveller must have an approved eVisa before boarding a flight to Myanmar.
Applications are made on the Ministry of Immigration and Population eVisa portal. You upload a colour photo taken within three months, your passport bio-data page, proof of a return ticket and a booking at a registered hotel or boat, then pay by Visa, Mastercard or JCB. The fee is non-refundable.
An acknowledgement email usually arrives within an hour of payment, and normal processing takes at least three working days. The approval letter is valid for 90 days from issue, allows a single entry and a stay of 28 days, and only passports are accepted, not travel documents.
eVisa holders may enter only through Yangon, Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw airports or the Kawthaung land border, not by sea. Some regions are closed to foreigners, so check the restricted-area notices before booking internal travel. Travellers refused entry may be returned on the same flight.
Checklist
Document requirements
- Pakistani passport valid at least six months (travel documents are not accepted)
- One colour photo, 4.6 cm x 3.8 cm, taken within the last three months, uploaded with the application

Pakistan is number 72 on the list of 100 countries eligible for the Myanmar tourist eVisa. Visa-free tourist entry is limited to Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore, so Pakistanis must hold an approved eVisa.
