Romanian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Myanmar. The eVisa covers tourism and business, and you must apply online before traveling. As of 2026, the process is straightforward but requires careful attention to passport validity and onward travel.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official eVisa portal. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and you'll receive an approval letter by email. Print the letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw airports will stamp the visa on arrival.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Myanmar. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration at Yangon will deny boarding if it's close to expiry. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Overland exits are possible but less common — air departure is the standard. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking recommended | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, a booking confirmation with your name and dates will satisfy them. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or card recommended | Have at least $200 USD in cash or a credit card with available balance. ATMs in Yangon and Mandalay dispense local kyat, but exchange rates are better with crisp US dollars. Immigration doesn't usually check, but it's smart to have it. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Myanmar. Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
eVisa only for air arrivals
The eVisa is only valid for entry by air at Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airports. You cannot use it at land borders.
