Our guide to the Myanmar visa from Switzerland
Yes, an e-Visa is required for citizens of Switzerland travelling to Myanmar. The application is filed online before the trip on the official portal of the Government of Myanmar, which lists the fees, the documents to provide and the processing times.
Swiss travellers planning a tourist stay in Myanmar should therefore complete this electronic procedure in good time and wait for approval before leaving. Neither the price nor the processing time is confirmed here: refer to the official portal rather than to commercial websites offering to complete the application on your behalf.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Swiss passport does not exempt you from a visa for Myanmar: you must obtain an e-Visa online before departure. The authorisation is linked to the passport used for the application and must be approved before boarding. For a business trip or a purpose other than tourism, check the appropriate category on the official portal.

You live in Switzerland on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Switzerland but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Common mistakes
Many travellers overpay by using an intermediary that presents itself as official, so always check the portal’s address. Others apply too late or with a non-compliant photo, which delays approval. Finally, an error in the date of birth or passport number can make the e-Visa unusable.
