Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Myanmar eVisa at the official Ministry of Immigration portal at least 7 days before departure. The eVisa costs around $50 USD and is valid for 90 days from issue, allowing a single entry for up to 28 days. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw airports will stamp you in 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 — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry at least two blank visa pages for the entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Yangon and Mandalay airports 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. Overstaying your eVisa's 28-day limit costs $3 USD per day, paid at the airport before departure. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Myanmar ready. Immigration may ask for the address where you will stay — write it on the arrival card. If you are visiting a friend, ask them to send a scanned invitation letter with their Myanmar ID number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry at least $300 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds for your stay. Myanmar is still a cash-heavy country — credit cards are not widely accepted outside major hotels and Yangon restaurants. ATMs dispense Myanmar kyat but charge high fees and often have withdrawal limits. | Recommended |
eVisa only valid at airports
Your eVisa is only valid for entry at Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw international airports. You cannot use it to enter Myanmar by land from Thailand, China, or India.
Travel insurance strongly recommended
While not officially required for entry, travel insurance is highly recommended. Medical care in Myanmar can be expensive, and evacuation costs are very high if you need serious treatment.

Apply for eVisa online
