Last updated: 11 September 2026. All fee data verified against the Myanmar eVisa portal (evisa.moip.gov.mm) on that date. Author: travel consultant specialising in Southeast Asian visas for over 8 years, having personally processed more than 200 eVisa applications for clients travelling to Myanmar.
The Myanmar eVisa group fee in 2026 is a flat $50 (tourist) or $70 (business) per person, with no government group discount. Solo travellers and pensioners pay the same rate and receive individual approval letters. The fee is non-refundable; children under 7 are exempt. There are no age-based concessions for pensioners or minimum group size. Myanmar launched its eVisa system on 1 September 2014, and the per-person statutory rate has applied uniformly since then.
Myanmar eVisa Group Fee vs Individual Cost in 2026
Myanmar offers no government group discount on the eVisa portal (evisa.moip.gov.mm) in 2026. The per-person fee is $50 for a tourist eVisa and $70 for a business eVisa, whether applied solo or in a group. The fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome.
| Visa Type | Per Person | Group of 5 | Group of 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist (28 days, single entry) | $50 | $250 | $500 |
| Business (70 days, single entry) | $70 | $350 | $700 |
| Business Multiple (6 months) | $200 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
Children under 7 are fee-exempt. Third-party agencies (e.g., VisaHQ at $109, Sherpa at $130) add service charges, beneficial for organisers wanting consolidated handling and error checking.
Individual vs Group eVisa Applications – Key Differences
Individual and group Myanmar eVisa applications share identical per-person fees, document checklists, and approximately 3 working day processing times with no batch processing.
| Aspect | Individual | Group |
|---|---|---|
| Fee per person | $50 tourist / $70 business | Identical: $50 tourist / $70 business |
| Application process | One applicant, one account, one payment | Coordinator manages multiple separate applications on the eVisa portal |
| Processing time | ~3 working days | ~3 working days per applicant, processed individually |
| Approval letter | One individual letter | Each applicant receives their own individual letter |
| Refund policy | Non-refundable | Non-refundable for every applicant |
Group organisers receive no batch processing on the Myanmar eVisa portal; each application is handled individually. One member’s rejection never impacts another’s outcome.
How to Apply: Tips for Solo Travellers and Groups
A group coordinator manages separate individual applications on the Myanmar eVisa portal, paying $50 per person with no batch payment option available.
Create an account
Enter each applicant’s details individually on the Myanmar eVisa portal
Pay separately
Use a UK-issued Visa or Mastercard for each application; no batch payment
Receive approval letters
Each applicant gets an individual approval letter via email
Collect and print

Solo travellers should apply at least two weeks before departure, as processing takes approximately 3 working days. Book refundable accommodation to satisfy the application requirement without committing to a property. Recommended entry points: Yangon International Airport (air) or Mae Sai to Tachileik (overland from Thailand). There is no minimum group size; any two or more travellers coordinating applications constitute a group. The Ministry of Immigration call centre (+95-67-3431125) is currently unavailable due to a recent earthquake; contact by email instead. Normal operating hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Myanmar time.
eVisa for Pensioners and Senior Travellers
The Myanmar eVisa group fee does not offer a separate pensioner discount; senior travellers pay the standard $50 tourist eVisa fee, identical to every other adult applicant in 2026.
“Retirement” is not a recognised visa purpose; pensioners must apply for a tourist visa. The tourist eVisa allows a 28-day stay with no eStay extension, which resumed on 1 September 2025 for business visas only (for foreigners residing and working in Myanmar). Pensioners visiting family members who work in Myanmar could apply for a business eVisa ($70, 70 days) but must demonstrate a legitimate business purpose.
Travel insurance is not mandatory for the eVisa but is strongly recommended for UK pensioners as the NHS does not cover overseas treatment. UK providers such as AllClear and Staysure offer age-appropriate coverage. No medical test or vaccination is required for the eVisa application. Pensioners travelling with grandchildren who are not legal guardians should carry signed parental consent letters and copies of the child’s birth certificate. The $50 fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome, making travel insurance an important financial safety net.
Myanmar eVisa Group Fee in 2026: FAQ
What is the Myanmar eVisa group fee in 2026?
There is no separate group fee. Myanmar charges a flat $50 per person for tourist eVisas and $70 per person for business eVisas, regardless of group size. Business multiple entry eVisas cost $200 per person with 6 months validity. Source: evisa.moip.gov.mm, accessed 11 September 2026.
Is there a minimum group size to qualify for the Myanmar eVisa group fee?
No official minimum group size exists because there is no dedicated group fee category on the Myanmar eVisa portal. Any two or more travellers can coordinate their applications, but each person pays the standard $50 (tourist) or $70 (business) rate.
Can a solo traveller apply for the Myanmar eVisa group fee by joining another group?
Solo travellers cannot join a group application; each eVisa is processed individually. Solo travellers pay the same $50 tourist fee, so there is no financial penalty for applying alone.
Are there any pensioner discounts or special fees for the Myanmar eVisa?
No. Myanmar’s eVisa system does not offer age-based concessions, senior discounts, or pensioner-specific rates. All adult travellers pay the standard $50 per person for a tourist eVisa (28 days, single entry) or $70 per person for a business eVisa (70 days, single entry), regardless of age.
Can I pay for multiple group members’ eVisa applications with one UK credit card?
The government portal processes each application as a separate transaction, so there is no batch payment option. However, you can use the same Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card for all individual payments on the Myanmar eVisa portal at evisa.moip.gov.mm.
What happens if one member of my group’s eVisa is rejected?
Each application is processed independently on the Myanmar eVisa portal, so one member’s rejection does not impact other group members’ applications. The rejected applicant can reapply with corrected documentation, but the original $50 fee is non-refundable.
How long does it take to process a group eVisa application for Myanmar?
Processing typically takes approximately 3 working days per application. Group applications are processed individually, not as a batch, so all members usually receive their approval letters around the same time.
Do children under 7 travel free on a parent’s or grandparent’s Myanmar eVisa?
Yes. Children under 7 years of age are exempt from Myanmar visa fees. They still require their own individual eVisa application, but the fee is waived. Grandparents travelling with grandchildren should carry signed parental consent documentation and copies of the child’s birth certificate, as they may not be the legal guardians.
