Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Chad. You must apply for an e-visa before traveling — there are no visa-on-arrival options for Myanmar citizens as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Chad eVisa at e-visa.td before you fly. Processing takes 3–5 business days, so submit at least a week ahead. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at N'Djamena will check it before stamping you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Chad. Airlines at Yangon International Airport will refuse boarding if your passport expires sooner. Carry two blank visa pages for the entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Chad | Immigration officers at N'Djamena International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. Without one, you may be denied entry and put on the next flight out. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Chad. Immigration may ask where you're staying — having a booking confirmation speeds things up and avoids secondary questioning. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to at least $200 USD per day of your stay. Chad is a cash-heavy country — bring enough USD or euros to exchange at the airport or local banks. Credit cards are rarely accepted outside major hotels. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) upon arrival. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport — which can be expensive and inconvenient.
No visa on arrival — apply early
There is no visa-on-arrival option for Myanmar citizens. The e-visa must be approved before you fly. Apply at least 1–2 weeks in advance to avoid last-minute issues.

Before you leave, gather: your passport (6+ months validity, 1 blank page), printed e-visa approval, return/onward ticket confirmation, first-night hotel booking, and travel insurance documents. Keep digital copies on your phone as backup.

Arrive at N'Djamena International Airport
At immigration, present your passport and e-visa approval. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. They may ask for your return ticket or hotel booking — have them ready. The process usually takes 10–15 minutes.

After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any large sums of cash (over 1 million XAF) or restricted items. Then you're free to exit the airport.
