Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Kosovo. You must apply online before you travel — there is no visa on arrival. As of 2026, the process is straightforward but requires careful attention to passport validity and supporting documents.

Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to roughly €50 per day of your stay. Immigration may ask if you look under-prepared — a printed statement works fine.Recommended
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Kosovo. If it expires sooner, your visa will be denied. Renew your passport first.
