Do I need a visa for Myanmar from Germany?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. German nationals must obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa) for Myanmar, applied for online before departure.
German travellers cannot enter Myanmar without prior authorisation: the country issues an electronic visa through the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm. The application is made online, from Germany, before boarding. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, an e-Visa is required for German travellers: the electronic tourist visa covers short leisure stays in Myanmar. Some entry points may offer a visa on arrival, but an e-Visa obtained in advance secures boarding. Confirm the validity period and number of entries on the official portal.
How and where to apply
Go to the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm, create your file and complete the online form from Germany. You upload a photo, pay the fee by card and receive approval by email. No visit to the Myanmar embassy is needed for a standard tourist stay.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport photo, your accommodation address in Myanmar and a return ticket. The fee is not set here and must be verified on the official portal at the time of application. Make sure your details match the passport exactly.
Processing and tips
Submit the application several days before departure to cover the processing time, which is not guaranteed. Keep the e-Visa approval, printed or on your phone, for boarding and arrival checks. Also check for any health requirements, such as yellow fever, if you transit through a risk area.
Common mistakes
Do not travel without an approved e-Visa expecting to settle the formality on site. Avoid unofficial middleman sites that add surcharges; use evisa.moip.gov.mm only. A passport valid for under six months frequently leads to a denied boarding.
Best time to travel
Myanmar's climate is generally hot and humid from March to May, with a rainy season from June to October. The optimal period to visit is from November to February when the weather tends to be cooler and drier. Avoid the rainy season if you prefer more stable and less humid conditions.
Main arrival airports
The main international airports in Myanmar are Yangon International Airport and Mandalay International Airport. These airports handle most international flights arriving from Germany. Other entry points are less commonly used for international travelers.
Documents to prepare
A valid passport for the duration of your stay is required. The e-visa must be obtained online prior to departure, including providing necessary documents such as the electronic authorization confirmation, a recent passport-sized photo, and proof of travel. Travel insurance is also recommended.
