|---|---|---|

| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond your stay | Your Hungarian passport needs at least 6 months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Myanmar. Airlines at Budapest and connecting hubs check this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Myanmar | Immigration officers at Yangon and Mandalay airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they will check the date matches your eVisa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Myanmar. Immigration may ask for your first night's address on arrival, and some airlines request it at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Have at least $300–$500 in cash (USD or euros) or a recent bank statement showing sufficient balance. Myanmar immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your stay without working. | Recommended |
eVisa only at airports
The eVisa is only accepted at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw international airports. If you arrive by land border, you'll be denied entry. Plan your route accordingly.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Myanmar, not from when you apply for the eVisa. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying.
Keep a printed copy of your eVisa
Immigration officers prefer a printed copy of your eVisa approval letter. Print it at home or at a shop before you fly. Also save a PDF on your phone as backup.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Myanmar eVisa website (evisa.moip.gov.mm). Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee (around $50 USD). Processing takes 3–5 working days, sometimes longer. Apply at least a week before your trip.
2
Receive and save your eVisa
You'll get an email with your eVisa approval letter. Download and print a copy, and save a PDF on your phone. The eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue.
3
Prepare your documents for arrival
Before you land, have your passport, printed eVisa, return ticket, and first night hotel booking ready. Keep them in an easily accessible pocket — not buried in your bag.
4
Arrive at Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airport
The eVisa is only accepted at these three international airports. If you arrive by land border, you'll need a different visa. At immigration, hand over your passport and eVisa. The officer will stamp you in for up to 28 days.
5
Complete the arrival card
You'll receive a paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport. Fill it out with your flight details, accommodation address, and passport info. Hand it to immigration along with your passport.

Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa on arrival for Hungarian passport holders. You must get an eVisa before you travel. The eVisa is accepted only at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw international airports.
Processing usually takes 3–5 working days, but it can take longer during peak seasons. Apply at least 7–10 days before your departure to be safe. The fee is around $50 USD, paid online by credit card.
The eVisa allows a single entry and a maximum stay of 28 days. You cannot extend it while in Myanmar. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and reapply.
No. The eVisa is only valid for entry at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw international airports. If you plan to enter overland from Thailand, India, or China, you need a different visa type — apply at a Myanmar embassy or consulate.
Rejections are rare but can happen if your photo doesn't meet requirements or your passport has less than 6 months validity. You'll get an email explaining the reason. You can reapply with corrected information, but the fee is not refunded.
It's not officially required, but immigration officers may ask how you'll support yourself. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash (USD is widely accepted) is a good idea. ATMs are available in cities but can be unreliable.
No, it's not required for the eVisa application or entry. But it's strongly recommended. Medical facilities are basic outside major cities, and evacuation to Bangkok can cost thousands. Get a policy that covers medical evacuation and trip cancellation.
