Do you need a visa for Myanmar?

There are a few exceptions, but yes: foreigners need a visa to visit Myanmar. Some nationalities are exempt from this requirement (like Singapore and Vietnam), while others can only apply for one type of eVisa and not the other.

Citizens of eligible countries have the comfort of being able to apply for the eVisa online, without having to go to the embassy in person. They can opt between the Tourist and the Business eVisas, both single-entry documents with 28 and 70 days of validity, respectively. For other visa types, it is mandatory to apply through the embassy.
