Visa for Myanmar from Nigeria: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Holders of a Nigerian passport need a visa issued before travel to enter Myanmar. It is requested from the Embassy or Consulate of Myanmar responsible for Nigeria, which reviews the file and makes the decision. Depending on where you live, the competent mission may be located outside Nigeria, so check this at the very start of the process.

A typical file includes a valid passport, the application form, recent passport photos and proof of accommodation, financial means and travel insurance. The embassy may ask for other documents depending on the purpose of the trip, such as a flight reservation (not a purchased ticket) or an invitation letter. The fee amount and accepted payment methods should be confirmed directly with the embassy.

First contact the competent mission of Myanmar to find out the current procedure and whether an appointment is required. The file is then submitted in person or as instructed by the embassy, together with the completed and signed application form. Keep a copy of every document and note any reference numbers you are given for follow-up.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Nigeria, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Nigeria 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.

Processing times vary depending on the mission, the time of year and how complete the file is: make enquiries before setting your dates. Apply well before departure and do not buy a plane ticket until you have the visa. When your passport is returned, check the visa type, the dates and the spelling of your name.

Buying a non-refundable ticket before the decision is the costliest mistake if the visa is refused or delayed. Another mistake is relying on a list of documents found on a forum: only the Embassy or Consulate of Myanmar is authoritative. Finally, an incomplete file or details that do not match the passport slow down the review and can even lead to a refusal.
