What are the new rules regarding over-staying?

If you overstay your visa in Myanmar, it is considered a violation of immigration regulations. The consequences for overstaying can vary depending on the duration of the overstay and the discretion of immigration authorities.

Upon departure at the Airport Immigration Office, individuals who exceed the permitted duration of their visa are obligated to settle a fine of $3 per day. If the overstay extends beyond 30 days, the fee escalates to $5 per day. In more serious cases, overstaying a visa could result in detention by immigration authorities and potential deportation. This is more likely to occur if you have a significant overstay or if there are other immigration violations.

You should be aware that you are allowed to stay in Myanmar for only 28 days or 70 days depending on the type of visa you hold. After this period, you must leave Myanmar and return to the country with a new Myanmar visa. If you wish to extend your stay in Myanmar beyond the validity period of your visa, it is necessary to request a visa extension. It is advisable to contact the nearest Immigration Department or consult with a professional immigration advisor to get the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding visa extensions in Myanmar.
