Pakistan passport holders need an eVisa to enter Myanmar. The eVisa covers tourism and business visits, and you must apply online before traveling. Since 2026, the eVisa is the standard way to enter for short stays.
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 working days, and the eVisa is valid for 90 days from issue. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw airports will stamp you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Myanmar. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Myanmar | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return flight. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready — they may deny entry if you can't show one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have at least $300–$500 USD in cash or a credit card statement ready. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your stay. | Recommended |
eVisa is not extendable
The eVisa is valid for a single entry and cannot be extended. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter with a new eVisa.
Keep digital copies handy
Save your eVisa, passport, and return ticket as PDFs or screenshots on your phone. Internet access can be patchy, so offline copies are a lifesaver.
