Do I need a visa to travel to Myanmar?
Yes, all French nationals must obtain a visa before traveling to Myanmar, regardless of the length of stay. The visa must be requested from the embassy or through a specialized agency.
Visa requirement for all stays
Unlike some Asian destinations, Myanmar does not grant visa exemptions to French nationals. This requirement applies to all types of stays: tourism, business, transit, regardless of duration (even for 24 hours).
How to obtain a Myanmar visa
The visa must be obtained before departure:
- At the Myanmar Embassy in Paris (official procedure)
- Through a specialized visa agency (more convenient, subject to commission)
- E-visa online on the official Myanmar government website (subject to availability)
Key points to remember
Allow 5 to 10 working days minimum for visa processing. Plan this step in advance in your travel preparation, as no visa on arrival is available in Myanmar for French nationals.
