Business visits to Myanmar

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Sudanese passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see evisa.moip.gov.mm.

Working in Myanmar

Common tourist traps

  1. Gem and gold scams

    How it works: Merchants offer gems, gold or semi-precious stones; you could lose your money or be drawn into illegal activity.

    How to avoid it: Don't buy gems or minerals from an unlicensed source.

  2. Fake job offers and scam centres

    How it works: Cyber scam centres in Myawaddy (Kayin) and Tachileik (Shan) traffic victims lured by job offers.

    How to avoid it: Be cautious of job offers that seem too good to be true in Myanmar and neighbouring countries.

  3. Bag snatching, pickpocketing and theft

    How it works: Crimes of opportunity include bag snatching, pickpocketing and theft of unattended items in public places or hotel rooms.

    How to avoid it: Keep belongings with you and valuables out of sight.
