Poland to Myanmar
Do I need a visa for Myanmar?
Polish citizens must hold a Burmese electronic visa (e-visa) applied for online in advance. The e-visa must be obtained before departure and is not issued at the border; it is valid for a single entry and does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel on a passport or a temporary passport; those are the only accepted travel documents for this route. Your passport or temporary passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. A national identity card and a driving licence are not accepted for entry to Myanmar.
Are vaccinations required for Myanmar?
No vaccinations are required for entry to Myanmar on this route. Burmese authorities advise standard tropical hygiene precautions: avoid untreated water and ice, wash hands before meals, and be cautious with raw foods because cases of cholera, dengue and Japanese encephalitis occur.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
The e-visa is applied for online in advance and is valid for a single entry.
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 need only the accepted travel document (passport or temporary passport); no additional parental-consent or notarised documents are required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended for travel to Myanmar but is not a condition of entry. Be aware that Polish insurers’ policies are not recognised in Myanmar, so confirm your insurer’s accepted coverage before you travel.
Where do I get the visa?
The e-visa application is made through the official Myanmar e-visa portal; the portal issues the electronic permission you must hold before travel. Myanmar does not maintain an embassy in Poland; the nearest Burmese embassy for consular assistance is in Thailand.
