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 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 have 6 months validity | Your Slovak 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 your passport expires sooner. | 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 you still need a confirmed departure. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking recommended | 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. A booking.com confirmation works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show cash or card | Have at least $300 USD equivalent in cash or a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely checks this for short tourist stays, but it's safer to carry some US dollars — ATMs are unreliable outside major cities. | Recommended |
eVisa is for tourism only
The standard eVisa is for tourism (including visiting friends/family) and business (meetings, conferences). It does not allow paid work or long-term stays. If you plan to work, volunteer, or study, you need a different visa from a Myanmar embassy.
Keep a copy of your eVisa
Print two copies of your eVisa approval — one for your bag, one for your wallet. Also save a digital copy on your phone. Immigration at Yangon airport scans the barcode, so a clear printout is essential.
