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 21 days you plan to stay in Dominica. Airlines at Yangon and Bangkok check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, they will deny boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Dominica | Immigration at Douglas-Charles Airport asks for a return or onward ticket within 21 days. Airlines enforce this strictly — have a printed or digital copy of your outbound booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Dominica. Immigration officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have at least $100 USD per day available in cash, card, or bank statement. Officers rarely check this for Myanmar passport holders, but having proof avoids delays. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months left, you may be denied boarding even if you have a ticket. Double-check your passport's expiry date before booking.
No visa, but be prepared
While you don't need a visa, immigration officers can still ask for proof of funds or a return ticket. Having a printed or digital copy of your booking and a bank statement or credit card can smooth things over.
What happens at the border

Arrive at Douglas-Charles Airport or Canefield Airport

2
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport, return ticket (screenshot is fine), and if asked, your accommodation booking. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.

Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay (21 days). Check the stamp before leaving the counter to confirm the dates are correct.
