Danish passport holders need an eVisa to enter Myanmar. The eVisa covers tourism and business visits, and you apply online before travel. As of 2026, the eVisa is the standard way to enter for short stays.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official Ministry of Immigration portal. Processing takes up to 3 business days. Print the approval letter and bring it with you — immigration at Yangon and Mandalay airports will stamp the visa into your passport on arrival.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity | Your Danish passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Myanmar. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Yangon and Mandalay airports ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmations or an invitation letter from your host in Myanmar help satisfy immigration. Officers rarely ask, but having a printed copy avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry enough cash (USD or euros) for your stay — ATMs are unreliable outside major cities. Immigration may ask how you plan to fund your trip; a bank statement or credit card helps. | Recommended |
eVisa only valid at airports
The Myanmar eVisa is only accepted at international airports. If you plan to enter by land from Thailand, India, or China, you need a different visa — check with the nearest Myanmar embassy.
Keep a printed copy of your eVisa
Immigration officers prefer a paper copy. Print it before you leave home. Also save a PDF on your phone as backup.
