Do China passport holders need a visa to visit MM?

Chinese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Myanmar. The simplest route is the official Myanmar eVisa for tourism: USD 50, single entry, up to 28 days stay, valid 90 days from issue, usually approved within 3 working days. As of 31 May 2026, Myanmar has no visa-waiver or unilateral visa-free arrangement for mainland Chinese (CN) ordinary passport holders, so a visa is required for tourism. The recommended and most widely used channel is the official Myanmar Tourist eVisa applied for online at evisa.moip.gov.mm. The eVisa costs USD 50 (government fee), is single entry, permits a maximum stay of 28 days, is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, and is normally approved within about 3 working days. eVisa holders must enter via Yangon, Nay Pyi Taw or Mandalay international airports, or designated land borders with Thailand (Tachileik, Myawaddy, Kawthaung) and India (Rih Khaw Dar, Tamu). As an alternative, Myanmar also offers a Visa on Arrival for tourism (USD 50, 30-day stay, non-extendable) available at the three main international airports under a temporary arrangement currently extended to 29 August 2026; however, eVisa is the more reliable and verifiable option and is recommended over relying on VoA, which is subject to renewal. Passports must be valid for at least six months. Travelers should also note Myanmar's ongoing internal security situation and consult current travel advisories before booking.
