Saudi Arabia to Myanmar visa requirements

A Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Myanmar for tourism. The simplest route is the official Myanmar Tourist eVisa, applied for online before travel at evisa.moip.gov.mm. There is no visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival for Saudi nationals. Myanmar requires Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa before tourist travel; there is no visa waiver or visa-on-arrival arrangement between the two countries. The recommended and most convenient option is the government Tourist eVisa via the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm, which costs USD 50, permits a single entry with a stay of up to 28 days, and produces an approval letter valid for 90 days from issue. Standard processing is about 3 working days, with paid urgent and super-urgent tiers available. Travelers must enter through an approved international airport (Yangon, Nay Pyi Taw, Mandalay) or a designated land border checkpoint, and must carry a printed copy of the approval letter. An alternative is a sticker visa from the Myanmar Embassy in Riyadh (fee around SR 150), but it requires roughly 14 working days and in-person/courier handling, so the eVisa is preferable for most short tourist visits. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months with blank pages, and supporting documents (photo, return/onward ticket, hotel booking) are required.
