Making a Myanmar Tourist Visa in Singapore

Thought that this should be useful as there doesn't seem to be such information out there.

To visit Myanmar, a tourist visa is needed, even for ASEAN nationals.

From the Embassy site:

A valid passport with entry visa is required for all visitors. A tourist visa allows a stay of 28 days extendable for an additional 14 days. A business visa allows a stay of 10 weeks, extendable up to 12 months on case-by-case basis. Visa on Arrival is granted on prior arrangement with the Ministry of Hotel and Tourism. Infants and children also require a separate visa even traveling on parent's passport.

Visa Hours

(Monday to Friday)     Morning : 09:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (Visa Application Hours)

Evening : 04:00 p.m. to 05:00 p.m. (Visa Collection Hours)

Processing Time          Two working days

The times are wrong as the opening hours start from 9.00 am to 12.30 pm, while collection is from 5.00 to 6.00 pm. More details about the documents required and fees are listed on the site.

There is also a guide on applying for visa produced by the Visa Section by the Myanmar Embassy in Singapore.

Making a Singapore Visa for Indians is only open to citizens or long-term pass holders. So those holding immigration cards are not eligible.

To skip having to be at the Embassy early to queue for a number, make an online appointment first.

Prepare everything required, although the name/business card is not compulsory if you don't have one, and photos can be smaller than 1.5 by 2.0 inches.

Travel to the Embassy on the appointed time. People can enter to wait before 8.30 am. There will be a line forming for the queue number, but if you made an online appointment you can skip it.

People place their belongings in order of arrival, and sit at the waiting area waiting for the counter to open. All instruction signs are in Burmese, so it would be confusing to a non-Burmese reader. Ignore the numbers shown on the screen if being there before opening hours.

Check to see if counter 8 or 9 has people manning it inside those doors. Once there are people, you can enter with your documents in order for submission. There is also a photocopier inside for paid public use. The lady in red was waiting before I entered and this was her third time trying to get a visa without making an online appointment because she didn't know about it!

I went in at 8.40 am and left at 8.50 am. The visa was made ready that same day for collection between 5.00 to 6.00 pm. The price is SGD 35 for the visa, and SGD 10 as service charge. All in all, this is very impressive!
