| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Have at least $300 USD or equivalent in cash or a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely asks, but it is better to have proof if questioned about your ability to support yourself during the stay. | Recommended |

Pay the fee (around $50 USD for tourism) with a credit card. Processing takes 3-5 business days, sometimes faster.

At Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw international airports, go to the immigration counter. Hand over your passport, printed eVisa, and boarding pass. The officer will check your passport validity and may ask for your return ticket. You'll get an entry stamp. The whole process takes 10-20 minutes.
