Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Chad. You must apply for an e-visa before traveling — there are no visa-on-arrival options for Myanmar citizens as of 2026. The e-visa is valid for a single entry, and you'll need to show it at immigration in N'Djamena.

There is no visa-on-arrival option for Myanmar citizens. The e-visa must be approved before you fly. Apply at least 1–2 weeks in advance to avoid last-minute issues.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for e-visa online
Go to the official Chad e-visa website (e-visa.td). Fill in your details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $100–$150 depending on processing speed). Wait for approval — typically 2–5 business days. Print the approval email or save the PDF on your phone.
2
Prepare your documents
Before you leave, gather: your passport (6+ months validity, 1 blank page), printed e-visa approval, return/onward ticket confirmation, first-night hotel booking, and travel insurance documents. Keep digital copies on your phone as backup.
3
Arrive at N'Djamena International Airport
At immigration, present your passport and e-visa approval. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. They may ask for your return ticket or hotel booking — have them ready. The process usually takes 10–15 minutes.
4
Exit immigration and collect luggage
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any large sums of cash (over 1 million XAF) or restricted items. Then you're free to exit the airport.
