Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Yes, Swedish citizens need a visa for Myanmar. It is applied for as an e-Visa through the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm before departure.

For a tourist trip to Myanmar, Swedes must obtain an e-Visa before leaving. The application is made online on the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm, which avoids a trip to the embassy. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months; check the exact fee and validity directly on the portal.

Do you need a visa for Myanmar?

Yes. A Swedish passport does not allow visa-free entry to Myanmar for tourism. The standard route is the e-Visa, applied for online before travel. Some entry points may offer issuance on arrival, but obtaining the e-Visa in advance remains the safest route.

How and where to apply

The application is made online, from Sweden, on the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm before departure. You complete the form with your passport details, a photo, your accommodation and your travel dates, then pay the fee by card. Once approved, the e-Visa reaches you by email: print it to present to immigration.

Documents and fees

Bring a Swedish passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry, a recent passport photo, an accommodation address in Myanmar and usually a return or onward ticket. The e-Visa amount and its validity are not guaranteed in this guide: check the current official fee on evisa.moip.gov.mm before confirming payment.

Processing time and practical tips

Processing time is not fixed: submit your application several days before departure to absorb any delays. Check your passport number and the spelling of your name before submitting, as these details appear on the e-Visa checked on arrival. Carry a printed copy in addition to the digital version, and note that the e-Visa is only valid for designated entry points.

Common mistakes

Use only the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm: many copycat sites overcharge for the service. Do not assume that issuance on arrival will always be available on your route. Finally, check that your entry point (airport or land border) is covered by the e-Visa, or you may be refused at the border.
