FOREIGNERS can
apply for eVisa only through the official website of the Ministry of Labour,
Immigration and Population: https://www.evisa.moip.gov.mm.
However, some
foreign tourists were found to have entered the country by correcting certain
data and information in the eVisa approval letter that was earlier issued
through the ministry’s eVisa website. Some websites were also found to be
charging additional fees to apply for eVisa through the ministry’s official
website.
The ministry has
not permitted tour agents to charge an additional fee to help visitors procure
eVisa through the ministry’s official website. The ministry will not be
responsible for eVisa applied through other websites operated by tour agents.
Legal action
will be taken against anyone, in or outside Myanmar, who provides fake eVisas.
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population started the eVisa website in
August 2014, and Myanmar Ease Net Co. Ltd. is the sole service provider of the
online eVisa system. No other entity and website are being permitted to provide
eVisa, and the ministry’s eVisa website is the sole one.
The ministry had
issued a warning against fake eVisas in the state-owned newspaper on 2 June
2015.
