|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official Ministry of Immigration portal.

| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Myanmar. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket out of Myanmar. A flight booking or bus ticket showing departure within your eVisa's validity period works. Have a printed copy or screenshot ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host. Immigration may ask where you're staying — having a booking confirmation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or bank statement | Have at least $300 USD equivalent in cash or a bank statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely checks this, but it's a formal requirement for entry. | Recommended |
Apply early — no visa on arrival
Bangladeshi passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Myanmar. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight. Apply at least a week in advance.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa approval, hotel booking, and return ticket as PDFs on your phone. Also print paper copies. Immigration at Yangon and Mandalay airports may ask to see them.

Frequently asked questions
No. Bangladesh is not on the visa-on-arrival list for Myanmar. You must get an eVisa before you travel. The eVisa is valid for 90 days from issue and allows a single entry for up to 28 days.
The eVisa fee is approximately $50 USD, payable by credit or debit card on the official website. There are no additional processing fees if you apply directly. Third-party sites may charge extra.
Processing usually takes 3–5 working days. Apply at least a week before your flight to be safe. You'll receive the approval by email. Check your spam folder.
Yes. Immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel. A printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight booking is sufficient. Without it, you could be denied entry.
The eVisa is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and reapply, or apply for a different visa type at a Myanmar embassy before travel. Overstaying can result in fines.
Your eVisa application will be rejected. You must renew your passport first. The 6-month validity is counted from your date of entry into Myanmar.
No, it's not a legal requirement for entry. But it's strongly recommended. Medical facilities in Myanmar are basic, and evacuation to Bangkok can cost thousands. Insurance covers that.
