As per the new terms and conditions, a visa applicant, who has children aged under seven on the same passport, is required to put the child's name and birth date in the minor section of the application form.

Only passport holders are eligible for the visa application, and all applicants should abide by Myanmar's laws and not interfere in the internal affairs of the country, the Ministry said.
