Do I need a visa for Poland from Myanmar?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. Nationals of Myanmar must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling to Poland for tourism.
Myanmar (Burma) is not Schengen visa-exempt, so a consular application is essential before a tourist trip to Poland. The Type C visa allows a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Poland must be your main destination for its consular service to process the file.
Do you need a visa?
A Schengen short-stay visa is mandatory for travellers from Myanmar heading to Poland. It covers tourism, family visits and short business stays of up to 90 days per 180-day period. Poland applies the common Schengen Visa Code.
How and where to apply
The application begins by registering on the e-Konsulat portal, then continues at the competent Polish consulate or its outsourcing partner (VFS Global or TLScontact) designated for residents of Myanmar. As Poland does not always keep a direct mission there, another Schengen state may represent it locally. Book an appointment and attend in person for biometric enrolment.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure with two blank pages, the printed and signed e-Konsulat form, a recent photo, travel medical insurance of at least €30,000, accommodation and return-flight bookings, and proof of funds. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult. Confirm the amount and exact checklist before the appointment.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; submit at least three weeks before travel and up to six months ahead. A clear itinerary, evidence of ties to Myanmar (job, family, property) and consistent bank statements improve your chances. Wait for the visa to be issued before buying non-refundable tickets.
Common mistakes
Refusals often result from inadequate insurance, a passport too close to expiry, or poorly documented funds. Failing to complete the e-Konsulat form correctly, or applying to the wrong Schengen country when Poland is the main destination, also leads to rejections. Check for any yellow-fever requirement depending on your routing.
