Business, work or just passing through?

The rules above are for a holiday: tourism and visiting family and friends. Business visits, paid work and transit are covered separately below.

Business visits to Myanmar

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Swedish 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

⚠ Not from an official source: items marked below come from secondary sources (law firms, employer-of-record guides, IOM, Wikipedia), not the destination government. They are not verified and may be out of date; confirm with the embassy or immigration authority.

Transit through Myanmar

Option 1
Visa-freeTransit (changing flights in Myanmar)

Airside transit generally without a visa (not from an official source)

Unofficial source – not verified

This rule is not from an official Myanmar government source. It is based on a secondary reference source (dict.dyimin.com). Confirm with the embassy or the official immigration authority before you travel.

The World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com) says: “Transit/Transfer Airside Transit Passengers connecting to a flight bound for a third country within 24 hours at Myanmar international airports, such as Yangon, Mandalay, and Nay Pyi Taw, without leaving the transit area (airside) do not pass through immigration control. Therefore, they are not required to obtain a Myanmar entry visa.” Not from an official Myanmar government source; based on the World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com), a single unofficial reference site. Low confidence, not verified - confirm with your airline before travel.

Conditions

  • Stay in the international transit area (airside); do not pass immigration.
  • Check your airline allows it (through ticket and checked-through baggage).

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.
