Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Myanmar. You must apply for an e-visa online before you travel — there is no visa on arrival for MZ passport holders. As of 2026, the process is straightforward but requires careful attention to passport validity and onward travel documentation.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official Ministry of Immigration portal. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and you'll receive an approval letter by email. Print it and carry it with your passport to present on arrival.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have at least 6 months validity | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Myanmar. Airlines check this before boarding, and immigration officers enforce it strictly at Yangon and Mandalay airports. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Myanmar | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed copy or digital booking confirmation ready — they may deny entry if you can't show one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Myanmar. Immigration may ask for it during the entry interview, especially if you're arriving without a pre-booked tour. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have at least $300 USD in cash or a credit card with available balance. Immigration officers rarely check this for eVisa holders, but it's safer to have proof ready. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Myanmar immigration enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. If your passport expires sooner, you will be refused entry — no exceptions. Check your passport expiry date before you apply for the e-visa.
E-visa only for air arrivals
The e-visa is only valid for entry through Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airports. If you plan to enter Myanmar by land from Thailand or India, you need a different visa type — apply at a Myanmar embassy or consulate in advance.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for e-visa online
Go to the official Myanmar e-visa website (evisa.moip.gov.mm). Fill in your personal details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $50 USD) with a credit card. Processing takes 3–5 working days. You'll receive an approval letter by email.
2
Print or save your e-visa
Print a paper copy of the e-visa approval letter and also save a PDF on your phone. Airlines often check this before you board your flight to Myanmar.
3
Arrive at Yangon or Mandalay airport
Most international flights arrive at Yangon International Airport (RGN) or Mandalay International Airport (MDL). Go to the immigration counter for foreign passport holders. Present your passport, printed e-visa, and boarding pass.
4
Show supporting documents if asked
Immigration officers may ask for your return ticket and hotel booking. Have them ready on your phone or printed. They rarely ask for proof of funds, but it's smart to have a bank statement or cash handy.
5
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 28-day stay permit. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — make sure the dates are correct. Keep the arrival card stub if given one.
