How to get your myanmar Visa 緬甸簽證
On September 1, 2014, the Government of Burma announced an e-Visa program for tourist visas. The program allows tourists to apply for a visa online rather than physically applying at an embassy or consulate. Tourists are generally notified within a few days about whether they have been approved for a visa. You must present the approval letter at Immigration when you enter the country. Once tourists are approved for the visa, the visa needs to be used within three months.
In 2012, the Government of Burma announced a visas-on-arrival program for business travelers in order to facilitate investment in the country. More information about the program can be found on the Embassy of Burma’s website. Pursuant to those guidelines, the visas-on-arrival program is available only to those with a formal letter of invitation from a business registered with the Burmese Ministry of Commerce, and not to those intended for tourists seeking tourist visas.
In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures to verify the status of children travelers at entry/exit points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian for the child's travel. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may help you with entry/departure.
You can get information about entry requirements as well as other information from the Embassy of Burma’s website. The Embassy is located at 2300 S Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20008. Telephone: 202-332-4350. The Permanent Mission of Burma to the UN is located at 10 East 77th St., New York, NY 10021. Telephone: 212-535-1311 or 212-744-1271. Fax: 212-744-1290.

step 1: Visit Myanmar's official government website: http://evisa.moip.gov.mm/
Very few travel agencies will help you get a Myanmar Visa. So it is easiest to do it by yourself through the official Myanmar government website, and it costs $50 USD 美金. There are also other online websites that offer the same service, but DO NOT use them because they cost more.
Step 2: follow the directions to apply for e-visa
*You will need a credit card for the $50 USD payment.
* For the destination address, simply put "Yangon Hotel".
* You will need a digital passport photo to upload. You can get them at Costco if you have a membership because it's the cheapest. Otherwise you can get it at your local CVS. Not every CVS has a photographer on site, so call them and ask beforehand.
