Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit MM?
German ordinary passport holders need a visa for Myanmar. The standard route for tourism is the official Myanmar tourist eVisa (USD 50), which allows a single entry, a stay of up to 28 days, and is valid for 90 days from issue. Apply online at the government portal before travel. Germany is NOT visa-free for Myanmar. A Germany (DE) ordinary passport holder traveling to Myanmar (MM) for tourism requires a visa; Myanmar grants no visa-free access to German citizens. The recommended and most widely used option is the Tourist eVisa issued by Myanmar's Ministry of Immigration and Population (MOIP) via the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm. The tourist eVisa costs USD 50, permits a single entry with a maximum stay of 28 days (non-extendable), and the approval letter is valid for 90 days from the date of issue (you must enter within that window). Standard processing is up to 3 working days. Applicants need a passport valid for at least 6 months on entry, a recent passport-style photo, proof of onward/return travel, and accommodation details. eVisa holders may only enter through designated international airports (Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw) and certain land checkpoints. A visa-on-arrival facility has existed historically but is not a reliable channel for German tourists; the eVisa applied for in advance is the correct, dependable route. Myanmar is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here (those govern travel TO Germany/Europe, not to Myanmar). Travelers should also review their government's travel advisory, as security conditions in parts of Myanmar are volatile.
