Myanmar is a developing investment opportunity especially in the areas of telecommunications, energy, and infrastructure to Swedish entrepreneurs, consultants and business executives. The Myanmar Business eVisa is an important requirement whether you are flying out of Stockholm to Yangon in order to attend a corporate gathering or you are seeking business prospects in Mandalay. Though traveling has been made easy through the digital process, the Swedish citizens are to follow certain documentation requirements to facilitate a successful application.
This guide provides everything you need to know about the Myanmar Business eVisa for Sweden.
Do Swedes Need a Visa for Business in Myanmar?
Yes, a visa is mandatory for all Swedish citizens entering Myanmar for business purposes. While some nationalities have limited visa-free entry for tourism, business travelers must always hold a valid eVisa. Applying online ensures that your paperwork is compliant with current regulations, preventing any issues at the port of entry.
What is the Difference Between Digital Arrival Cards vs. eVisas?
There is a tendency that travelers may mix up these two documents, yet they have very different uses.
Business eVisa is your legal pass to work in the country. It takes an invitation letter and official processing.
The Digital Arrival Card is a declaration form, which is mandatory and replaces the previous paper cards that are distributed on planes. It is health and customs-oriented and also concerned with your particular arrival. As there is no way one can clear immigration without the other. Your eVisa is your ticket in and your registration is your Arrival Card as you enter.
What Documents Are Needed for a Myanmar Business eVisa?
To avoid delays, Swedish applicants must ensure they have high-quality digital scans of the following Required Documents for Myanmar e-Visa:
Swedish Passport: Should be in good condition, at least six months before the date of entry and it should have at least one blank page.
Digital Photograph: The photograph is a recent color image (4.6 cm x 3.8 cm) with a white background and is less than three months old.
Invitation Letter: This is a formal letter by a registered company in Myanmar expressly giving the reason why you are visiting them.
Registration of the Company in Myanmar: A copy of the inviting Myanmar company Certificate of Incorporation.
Company Extract: A recent extract of the Myanmar Companies Online (MyCO) database to demonstrate that the company that is being invited is active and compliant.
How Do I Establish Financial Credibility for My Visit?
Although a personal bank statement is not always the must but to prove financial credibility is critical in the classification of a Business. In some cases immigration officers can request supporting documents that your business trip is fully financed. A corporate credit card, a letter written by your Swedish employer saying he/she is covering all the costs, or the electronic copy of the last financial status of your company may go a long way in proving that you are a good professional traveler.
How Long Can I Stay in Myanmar on a Business eVisa?
The Business eVisa has a generous period of stay 70 days. This is much longer than the 28 day limit of tourists so it is perfect in situations where the Swedish professional is going to work on a long term project or visit the industrial site. In the event that your business will take more than 70 days to stay in Myanmar, then the visa can be easily extended locally at the ministry concerned.
How Fast is the Myanmar eVisa Processing Time?
We understand that business opportunities in the Swedish market can be time-sensitive. To accommodate your schedule, we offer three processing speeds:
Normal Processing: For well-planned trips. Your visa is typically processed within 12 - 15 Working Days.
Rush Processing: A faster tier for urgent meetings, delivering your approval in 8 - 12 Working Days.
Super Rush Processing: Our fastest service for last-minute emergencies, ensuring your visa arrives within 6 - 9 Working Days.
Can I Get an Emergency eVisa for Urgent Travel?
If you have a sudden business emergency and need to fly within the week, our Super Rush service acts as an emergency eVisa channel. While the standard government portal does not have a "panic button," we prioritize these applications and work closely with immigration contacts to expedite the review process, often securing approval in as little as 6 working days.
Can I Re-enter the Country After a 2-Month Gap?
Since the Myanmar Business eVisa is a single-entry visa, it is cancelled the moment you leave the country. If you complete a business trip and wish to return after a 2-month gap, you must apply for a completely new eVisa. There is no "cooling-off" period required between applications; you can apply for your second visa as soon as your first trip is finished.
How Does Dual Nationality Affect My Application?
If you hold dual nationality (e.g., Swedish and British), you must apply for the eVisa using the exact same passport you intend to travel with. If you apply with your Swedish passport but present your British passport at the Yangon airport, your visa will be considered invalid. Always ensure the passport number on your approval letter matches the document in your hand.
Can I Talk to a Real Agent via WhatsApp Call?
Yes. Unlike automated government portals, we pride ourselves on human interaction. If you are confused about the documentation or have an urgent query, you can reach our agent on a WhatsApp call. Having a real person explain the nuances of the MyCO extract or invitation letter can provide the peace of mind that Swedish business travelers expect when handling sensitive travel documents.
Can I Apply for a Myanmar Visa Online from Stockholm or Gothenburg?
Yes, the process for Swedish citizens is 100% digital. There is no need to visit a Myanmar embassy or mail your physical passport. You can complete the entire application from your office in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, or anywhere in Sweden. Once approved, the eVisa is sent via email as a PDF, which you simply print and present at the border.
Is UPI or Digital Wallet Payment Working for Fees?
We stay updated with the latest payment trends. While the official government site often has trouble with international payment gateways, evisa-myanmar.com supports a variety of methods. While UPI is predominantly used in other regions, we ensure that Swedish travelers can use global digital wallets and all major credit/debit cards without the "payment failed" errors common on other platforms.
Connectivity Tips: eSIM vs. Physical SIM in Myanmar?
For Swedish professionals who need to stay connected, we highly recommend an eSIM if your phone supports it. You can purchase and install it before you even land, allowing you to have data the moment you switch off airplane mode. However, if you require a local number for extensive calling within Myanmar, a physical SIM from a provider like MPT or Atom can be purchased at the airport. Roaming with a Swedish provider (like Telia or Tele2) can be prohibitively expensive.
