Myanmar\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced new terms and conditions for tourist visa application given a low number of COVID-19 infections in the Southeast Asian country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myanmar resumed its commercial flight services<\/strong><\/a> in April after more than two years of suspension due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the new guidelines, tourists are required to provide proof of full vaccinations<\/strong><\/a>, a colour photo that was taken within three months and a passport that is valid for six months to their visa application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As per the new terms and conditions, a visa applicant, who has children aged under 7 on the same passport, is required to put the child\u2019s name and birth date in the minor section of the application form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only passport holders are eligible for the visa application, and all applicants should abide by Myanmar\u2019s laws and not interfere in the internal affairs of Myanmar, the ministry\u2019s statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, tourist visa holders are only allowed to enter Myanmar<\/strong><\/a> through Yangon International Airport, and they are requested to present the required documents announced by the Ministry of Health during their entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The period of stay, which starts from the date of arrival in Myanmar, is a maximum of 28 days. The visa is allowed for a single entry, and re-entry will require a new visa, according to the ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
