Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official Ministry of Immigration portal. Processing takes 3–5 working days, and you'll receive an approval letter by email. Print two copies — one for immigration at Yangon/Mandalay/Naypyidaw airport and one for your hotel.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Myanmar. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Yangon and Mandalay airports routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket. A bus or train ticket out of Myanmar works, but a flight booking is the safest bet. If you're overlanding to Thailand, have a printed bus e-ticket ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask for the first night's booking at minimum. If you're staying with friends, a scanned invitation letter with their Myanmar ID number helps. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or card for your stay | Carry at least $200 USD equivalent in cash (kyat or USD) per day of your stay. ATMs in Yangon and Mandalay work but often run out of cash. Immigration rarely asks, but having cash visible in your wallet avoids delays. | Recommended |
ATMs are unreliable
ATMs in Myanmar often run out of cash, especially outside Yangon and Mandalay. Carry enough USD or kyat in cash for your entire stay. Credit cards are accepted only at upscale hotels and restaurants.
Travel insurance with evacuation coverage is strongly advised
Medical facilities in Myanmar are limited. Serious conditions may require evacuation to Thailand or Singapore. Make sure your insurance covers medical evacuation.
eVisa is the easiest option
The eVisa costs $50 (single entry) or $70 (multiple entry) and is processed online. No need to visit an embassy.
