Nepali passport holders need an eVisa to enter Myanmar. The eVisa is valid for tourism and business visits, and you must apply online before you travel. As of 2026, the process is straightforward, but you'll need a few documents ready.

| Proof of funds Cash or card recommended | Carry at least $200 USD equivalent in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. ATMs in Myanmar are unreliable and often out of cash, so bring enough USD for your stay. | Recommended |
