Most visitors require a visa to enter Myanmar. Tourist visas can be obtained online through the e-Visa system or at Myanmar embassies. The e-Visa allows stays of up to 28 days for tourism purposes.
The cool, dry season from November to February is generally the best time to visit most parts of Myanmar. Beach destinations are best from November to April, while trekking in northern regions is ideal from October to March.
When visiting temples, dress modestly (covered shoulders and knees), remove shoes and socks, and avoid touching Buddha images. Always ask permission before taking photos of people. Use your right hand when giving or receiving items.
Consult your doctor about recommended vaccinations before traveling. Drink only bottled or purified water. Myanmar is generally safe for travelers, but take normal precautions with valuables.
