Ukrainian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Myanmar for tourism or business. The eVisa is valid for 90 days from issue and allows a single entry stay of up to 28 days. Apply online before you travel — there's no visa on arrival for Ukrainians as of 2026.
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 that letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Yangon and Mandalay airports checks it before they stamp you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry. Airlines at Boryspil and Lviv check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Yangon International Airport routinely ask for proof of a flight out of Myanmar. Have a printed itinerary or digital boarding pass ready — they won't let you through without one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a host in Myanmar can speed up the immigration process. Officers rarely ask, but having a printed copy avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry at least $300 USD in cash or a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration doesn't always check, but budget airlines and some land border crossings may ask. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival for Ukrainians
Myanmar does not offer a visa on arrival for Ukrainian passport holders. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight. Airlines check this at check-in.
Print your eVisa — digital won't work
Myanmar immigration requires a paper copy of your eVisa approval. A screenshot or PDF on your phone is not accepted at the counter. Print it before you leave home or at a hotel business centre.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Myanmar eVisa website (evisa.moip.gov.mm). Fill in your personal details, passport info, and travel dates. Upload a recent passport-style photo (digital, white background). Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing takes 3–5 working days for most applicants.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get a PDF via email. Print it — immigration officers at Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airports will ask for a paper copy. Keep a digital copy on your phone as backup.
3
Arrive at Myanmar immigration
At the airport, join the 'eVisa' queue (not the visa-on-arrival line). Hand over your passport, printed eVisa, and arrival card (filled out on the plane). The officer will stamp you in for up to 28 days. Expect a short wait — 10–20 minutes if the queue is light.
4
Complete the arrival card
You'll get a small white card on the flight. Fill it out with your passport details, flight number, and hotel address. Keep it with your passport — you'll hand it to immigration along with your eVisa.

Frequently asked questions
Most eVisa applications are processed within 3–5 working days. Apply at least a week before your flight to be safe. You'll receive the approval by email as a PDF.
No — the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before the 28-day stay expires. If you need more time, you'd have to exit and re-apply, or check with Myanmar immigration for a different visa type.
Your eVisa application will likely be rejected. Renew your passport first, then apply. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced at entry.
Yes — the eVisa is accepted at Yangon International Airport, Mandalay International Airport, and Naypyidaw International Airport. Land border crossings are not covered by the eVisa.
Immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight booking ready. A screenshot on your phone is usually accepted.
Rejections are rare but can happen if your photo doesn't meet requirements or your passport validity is too short. You'll get an email explaining the reason. You can re-apply with corrected information — the fee is non-refundable.
No — the eVisa is single-entry only. If you leave Myanmar and want to return, you'll need to apply for a new eVisa.
