Do France passport holders need a visa to visit MM?

French ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Myanmar for tourism. The simplest option is the official online Tourist eVisa (USD 50), which permits a single-entry stay of up to 28 days. France is not on Myanmar's visa-free or visa-on-arrival list. As of 31 May 2026, France is not among the small group of nationalities (such as Singapore, Vietnam, Russia and Brunei) that Myanmar admits visa-free, and it is not eligible for visa-on-arrival. French ordinary passport holders must obtain a visa in advance, and for tourism the recommended route is Myanmar's official government Tourist eVisa, issued through the Ministry of Immigration and Population portal (evisa.moip.gov.mm). The Tourist eVisa costs USD 50, is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, allows a single entry, and permits a stay of up to 28 days. It is normally issued within about 3 working days (often 24-48 hours). Entry on an eVisa must be made through a designated international airport (Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw) or one of the approved land border checkpoints. Travelers should ensure their passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry and carry proof of onward travel and accommodation. Travelers should also review France's own (Diplomatie / Conseils aux voyageurs) and other government travel advisories before booking, as the security situation in parts of Myanmar remains volatile. Beware of unofficial look-alike visa websites that charge inflated service fees; always apply via the official .gov.mm portal.
