Czech passport holders need an eVisa to visit Myanmar. The eVisa covers tourism or business trips and allows a single entry. Apply online before you travel — it's straightforward and usually takes a few days.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official eVisa portal at least 3 business days before departure. The eVisa costs $50 USD and is valid for 90 days from issue, allowing a single entry for up to 28 days. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw airports will stamp you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity beyond arrival | Your Czech passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Myanmar. Airlines at Prague and connecting hubs check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Yangon and Mandalay airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready — they will deny entry if you cannot show one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a Myanmar host can speed up immigration. Officers rarely ask, but having a printed hotel address and phone number avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry at least $300 USD in cash or a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration does not routinely check, but budget airlines flying into Myanmar may ask for proof of sufficient money for your stay. | Recommended |
eVisa is single entry only
The Myanmar eVisa allows one entry. If you leave the country (e.g., for a day trip to Thailand), you'll need to apply for a new eVisa to re-enter.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, passport photo, and booking confirmations on your phone and in cloud storage. If you lose a printed copy, you can still show them at immigration.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for eVisa online
Go to the official Myanmar eVisa website (evisa.moip.gov.mm). Fill in your personal details, passport info, and travel dates. Upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport data page. Pay the fee (around $50 USD) by credit card. Processing takes 3–5 working days — apply at least a week before your trip.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
You'll get an email with your eVisa approval as a PDF. Print a copy and also save it on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival in Myanmar.
3
Arrive at Yangon or Mandalay airport
Most international flights land at Yangon International Airport (RGN) or Mandalay International Airport (MDL). Follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. Present your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in — usually takes 5–10 minutes.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel. There's a customs declaration if you're carrying large amounts of cash or restricted items. Otherwise, just walk through the green channel.

The eVisa fee is about $50 USD, paid online by credit card. There are no additional charges at the airport if you have the eVisa.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before it expires. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before travel.
You must enter through the airport you specified on your application — usually Yangon or Mandalay. If your plans change, apply for a new eVisa with the correct entry point.
If you're transiting through Yangon or Mandalay and don't leave the airport, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to enter the country, even for a day, you need the eVisa.
Immigration may deny you entry. Airlines also check this at check-in. Book a refundable ticket or one you can change if you're unsure of your plans.
It's not officially required for the eVisa, but it's strongly recommended. Medical facilities are limited and evacuation can be very expensive. Get a policy that covers medical evacuation.
