Myanmar Travel and Vacation – Good to know
For entry into Myanmar, you need a visa. It is not available at the airport. It is best to apply for it online through the official government website. The application process usually takes 3-5 business days. Make sure that your passport is still valid for at least 6 months and has enough blank pages. You can find more details about the visa processing on the website of the Myanmar embassy.
The best airport to fly to Myanmar is Yangon International Airport (RGN). It offers the most international connections and is an ideal starting point for motorcycle trips. Make sure to find a direct flight to Yangon. From there, you can travel to other cities by bus or train, although riding a motorcycle is an unforgettable experience.
The local currency is the Myanmar Kyat (MMK). Credit cards are accepted in major cities like Yangon and Mandalay, but it is advisable to bring cash for rural areas. ATMs are available in larger cities, but they are often not functional. It is important to obtain enough cash in small bills before traveling to be able to pay everywhere.
Certain vaccinations are recommended for entry into Myanmar. These include Hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus. Travel insurance is also advisable to be covered in case of illness or an accident. Before your departure, check the current health guidelines on the World Health Organization (WHO) website for Myanmar to be well prepared.
To drive in Myanmar, you need an international driver's license. It is important to also have your national driver's license with you. Note that driving in Myanmar presents some challenges, such as unpaved roads and heavy traffic. Be cautious and inform yourself about the local traffic rules before you set off on your motorcycle.
A local SIM card is easy to buy in Myanmar. These are available in most major cities, including Yangon. Go to a mobile provider or a kiosk and bring your passport with you. There are various plans you can choose from depending on your need for data and calls. Be sure to activate the SIM card before your motorcycle tour.
