Travellers are advised to obtain a visa in their home country prior to entering Myanmar. Specific advice on up-to-date requirements should be obtained from the consulate offices in your country.

For general guidance, please note the following:

• Passport must have at least 6 months remaining validity at time of travel.
• Foreigners must always carry their passport whilst travelling.

Visa processing time is between 5 - 10 working days at most Myanmar Consulates or Embassies. Tourist visas are valid for 28 days. Some embassies require a ‘confirmation letter’, which Diethelm Travel can provide.

When you are travelling overland or by air, please ensure that your passport is in your hand luggage. NEVER pack your passport in your suitcase.
