South Korea to Myanmar visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa for Myanmar. The simplest, always-available option is the official Tourist eVisa (apply online at evisa.moip.gov.mm), which costs USD 50, is issued in about 3 working days, is valid for 90 days from issue, and allows a single stay of up to 28 days. A temporary Visa-on-Arrival test window for Korean nationals (USD 50, 30 days) is also open from 21 Oct 2025 to 21 Oct 2026, but the eVisa is the recommended, reliable route. As of mid-2026 there is no long-term visa-free entry for South Korean (KR) ordinary passport holders to Myanmar (MM). The earlier 2018-2020 visa-free pilot for Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Macao lapsed and was not made permanent. The standard route for Korean tourists is Myanmar's official Tourist eVisa, applied for online before travel at the government portal evisa.moip.gov.mm. The eVisa carries a USD 50 fee, is normally issued within about 3 working days, is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, and permits a single stay of up to 28 days. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months with at least one blank page, and applicants generally need a recent photo plus proof of onward/return travel and accommodation. Separately, Myanmar reinstated a Tourist Visa-on-Arrival test program for nationals of Japan, the Republic of Korea and Macao, currently running 21 October 2025 to 21 October 2026 (USD 50, up to 30 days, at international airports). Because the VOA is a time-limited pilot with an announced end date and is restricted to air arrivals, the conservative recommendation for a Korean tourist is to obtain the eVisa in advance. Myanmar is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
