Myanmar rules for every passport
Vaccinations, customs limits and penalties are the same for every traveller. Grounds for refusal depend on how you enter.
Overstay penalties
Anyone exceeding the permitted stay pays a fine of 3 dollars per extra day, and 5 dollars a day beyond 90 days. There is no cap on the fine.
Grounds for refusal
Apply to: e-Visa
- Arriving without a visa: there is no visa on arrival.
- Entering on an electronic visa through a non-authorised crossing.
Apply to: Visa required
- Arriving without a visa: there is no visa on arrival.
Do you need a different visa for Yangon, Mandalay, or Nay Pyi Taw?
No. Myanmar sets the requirements, so entering through Yangon asks for the same as entering through Mandalay or Nay Pyi Taw. If you're arriving overland or through a small border post, check that separately: some countries apply their own rules to specific crossings.
What does change is where you file the application when a visa is needed, and that depends on the country you live in rather than the city you're travelling to.
