Myanmar (Birmania): cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Australia and Canada advise against all travel; armed conflict, arbitrary detention and sudden travel restrictions remain serious risks.

Ingresso e visti
British visitors need a visa in advance and can apply for a tourist eVisa. A tourist eVisa permits 28 days and cannot be extended. Nationality eligibility and permitted entry ports must be checked on the official portal. Do not assume visa-on-arrival availability or that a visa makes travel safe.
Validità del passaporto: At least 6 months after arrival.
Alla frontiera possono chiedere
- Carry your approved visa and accommodation details.
Dogana
- Declare foreign currency worth more than USD 10,000.
