Visa & Entry Requirements for Myanmar

Q: What documents do I need to enter Myanmar?

Passport validity: Myanmar's eVisa notice says your passport validity must have at least 6 months. Travel insurance: No official source we could read states a travel-insurance requirement for Myanmar: the tourist eVisa notice asks for proof of a return ticket and a hotel booking, not insurance. Return or onward ticket: Myanmar's eVisa notice says a proof of return ticket from Myanmar must be attached to the tourist eVisa application (or a trip plan if you will enter from the Kawthaung land border checkpoint), as well as a proof of hotel booking. Proof of funds: No official source we could read states a proof-of-funds requirement or amount for Myanmar.

Q: How long can I stay in Myanmar without a visa?

Usually 14 days (7 passports); visa-free stays range from 14 to 30 days depending on your passport.

Most travellers can visit Myanmar without going to an embassy: 11 passports enter visa-free, 92 apply online for an eVisa.

Myanmar's eVisa portal says nationals of the countries on its list can apply for a tourist eVisa allowing a stay of 28 days, valid only for entry at the Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw international airports and the Kawthaung land border checkpoint. It says ordinary passport holders of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam need no visa for tourist visits up to their exemption period through those airports, and Singaporeans for up to 30 days through all international checkpoints; Myanmar's Foreign Ministry also lists ordinary-passport exemptions for Belarus, Russia and Malaysia. Canada says land crossings may close with little or no notice or be restricted to nationals of neighbouring states, and the UK advises against all travel to parts of the country.
