Indonesian passport holders can visit Myanmar without a visa for up to 14 days. This visa-free entry is valid for tourism and business visits, and is available at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw international airports. As of 2026, the policy remains in effect.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 14-day stay in Myanmar. Airlines at Jakarta and Surabaya check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, they will deny boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Myanmar | Immigration at Yangon and Mandalay airports routinely asks for a confirmed onward ticket. Budget airlines like AirAsia and Nok Air check this at check-in too. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers occasionally ask for a hotel address or booking confirmation. A simple printout of your first night's reservation is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or bank statement | Officers rarely ask, but having at least $200 USD in cash or a bank statement showing funds covers you. ATMs in Myanmar dispense local kyat, but exchange rates at the airport are poor. | Recommended |
Visa-free entry is only at airports
You cannot use visa-free entry at land borders. If you plan to enter Myanmar overland from Thailand, China, or elsewhere, you must get a visa (e-visa or embassy visa) before you travel.
14 days is strict — no extensions
The 14-day period starts the day you arrive. You cannot extend it. If you need more time, apply for a tourist e-visa (28 days) before you go.
