No visa on arrival — plan ahead
Myanmar passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Kosovo. You must secure a visa from a Kosovo embassy or consulate before you fly. Arriving without one means you will be refused entry and sent back.
Passport validity is strict
Kosovo requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Check your passport now and renew if needed.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Kosovo embassy or consulate
Find the Kosovo embassy or consulate that handles visa applications for Myanmar residents. This could be in a neighbouring country or the one that covers your region. Call or email them to confirm the exact application process and required documents.
2
Prepare your application file
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, accommodation proof, bank statements, itinerary, and insurance. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy's policy, you may need to appear in person for an interview or you can send your documents by courier. Pay the visa fee (typically around €60–€80, but confirm with the embassy). Keep the receipt.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from 5 to 15 working days. The embassy may contact you for additional information. Avoid booking non-refundable flights until you have the visa.

Collect your visa and travel
Once approved, you will receive a visa sticker in your passport. Check the dates and details. On arrival at Pristina International Airport, go to the 'All Passports' queue, present your passport, and you will be stamped in.
