Tourism officials of Myanmar said that tourists from Japan, South Korea and China would be granted a visa-on-arrival for a period to 28 days.
Tourists from all three countries need to wait for the relevant ministries to make official announcements rather than relying on newspaper reports quoting hotel and tourism ministry sources.
Chinese visitors would pay USD50 for the visa, while the fee would be waived for Japanese and South Koreans.
Travellers from all three countries would be required to complete a form at the airport arrival hall and show evidence that they have USD1,000 in cash, a return air ticket and hotel bookings to cover their stay in the country.
Japanese and South Koreans would be able to apply for a visa-on-arrival at four specific land border checkpoints shared with Thailand: Tachileik, Myawaddy, Kawthaung and Htee Khee. The visa-on-arrival stay, which is valid for 28 days, cannot be extended.
The facility will be applicable for independent travellers and those travelling on package tours.
Myanmar targets over 7 million visitors by 2020.
Last year, it welcomed 3,443,133 tourists, witnessing an increase of 18%.
