What to Do Now
- Prepare the photo: Take a new color photo against a light background. Ensure it is taken no earlier than 3 months before submitting the application.
- Crop to the required size: Use graphic editors or specialized online visa photo services to set the exact proportions of 38x46 mm.
- Prepare your passport: Make a high-quality scanned copy of your passport's biometric page (Passport Bio-Data Page), as it must also be uploaded. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
- Submit the application: Go to the official website evisa.moip.gov.mm, fill out the application form, upload the prepared files, and pay the visa fee.
Common Mistakes
- Using the standard 35x45 mm size: The system or visa officer may reject the photo if its proportions do not meet the 4.6 x 3.8 cm requirements.
- Old photo: Uploading a photo that is already in your passport (if the passport is older than 3 months) or using old pictures leads to refusal.
- Poor quality passport scan: Besides the photo, a frequent cause of delays is a blurred or cropped copy of the passport biometric page.
