Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply for Myanmar eVisa | Apply online at the official Myanmar eVisa portal before departure.

| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Myanmar. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers at Yangon and Mandalay airports enforce it strictly. Carry at least two blank visa pages for the entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel required | Immigration officers at Myanmar airports routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Budget airlines flying into Yangon also check this at boarding. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Myanmar. Have a printed confirmation or a digital copy on your phone. If you are staying with friends or family, they need to provide a notarized invitation letter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support your stay | Immigration officers occasionally ask for proof of sufficient funds — typically around $300–$500 USD equivalent in cash or a bank statement. Carry a printed bank statement or a credit card with a visible limit. ATMs are available in major cities but not everywhere. | Recommended |
Overland entry not allowed
The eVisa is only valid for air arrivals at Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airports. If you plan to enter Myanmar by land from Thailand, China, or India, you need a different visa arranged in advance.
Keep your eVisa printed
Print a paper copy of your eVisa approval letter. Some airlines won't let you board without it, and immigration at Myanmar airports will ask to see it. A digital copy on your phone is a good backup, but paper is safer.
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 digital passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days.

Receive and print your eVisa
Check your email (including spam folder) for the eVisa approval letter. Print a paper copy — you'll need to show it at check-in and at immigration in Myanmar. Save a digital copy on your phone as backup.

Arrive at Yangon, Mandalay, or Naypyidaw airport
You must enter Myanmar through one of these three international airports. Overland entry is not allowed with an eVisa. At immigration, present your passport, printed eVisa, and completed arrival card. The officer will stamp you in.

Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's no separate visa-on-arrival queue for eVisa holders — you go straight to the immigration counters.
