The short answer
Sri Lankan citizens need an eVisa to enter Myanmar. An eVisa has to be applied for and approved online before travelling to Myanmar. The fee is US$50 for a tourist eVisa, issued for a stay of 28 days, and US$70 for a business eVisa, issued for 70 days, as published on 19 September 2026. Conditions: an eVisa may be used to enter only through the designated ports of entry listed on the official portal. That list covers named airports and land border checkpoints, and the portal publishes it separately. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. This was last checked on 19 September 2026.
