Cambodian passport holders can enter Myanmar without a visa for stays up to 14 days. This visa-free arrangement is valid for tourism and short business visits in 2026. No prior application is needed — just show up at the airport with the right documents.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the 14 days you plan to stay in Myanmar. Airlines at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Myanmar | Immigration at Yangon and Mandalay airports routinely asks for a printed or digital onward ticket. If you are flying out, have the booking confirmation ready — they check the date matches your visa-free 14-day limit. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel confirmation or host's address handy. Immigration officers sometimes ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely checks this for short stays, but it is a formal requirement under Myanmar's visa-free rules. | Recommended |
Overstay fines apply immediately
Even one day over the 14-day limit triggers a $3/day fine. Immigration counts from the stamp date, not the flight time. Set a reminder to leave on time.
No visa fee for Cambodians
Unlike many nationalities who pay $50 for a visa on arrival, Cambodian passport holders enter for free under the bilateral agreement. No payment is required at immigration.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Yangon or Mandalay International Airport
Most Cambodian travellers fly into Yangon (RGN) or Mandalay (MDL). Follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Visa on Arrival' — but since you're visa-free, head straight to the 'Foreign Passports' queue.
2
Present your documents at immigration counter
Hand over your passport, completed arrival card (given on the plane), and your return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp your passport for 14 days. No fee is charged.
3
Collect baggage and exit
After clearing immigration, pick up your luggage from the carousel and proceed through customs. There's no separate visa payment step for Cambodian passport holders.

No, there is no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. However, having a credit card or some cash (USD or MMK) is practical for your stay.
The visa-free policy applies to air arrivals at international airports. Land border crossings (e.g., from Thailand) may have different rules — check with the nearest Myanmar embassy before attempting a land entry.
No online pre-declaration is required. You'll fill out a paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport before immigration.
