Travel insurance is not compulsory for obtaining an e-Visa for Myanmar, but it is strongly recommended. Here is the essential information on the subject:
Official requirements
- Travel insurance is not a required document when applying for a Myanmar e-Visa.
- The Myanmar government does not require it as a condition of entry.
Recommendations
Although not compulsory, travel insurance is strongly recommended for a number of reasons:
- Medical cover : The health system in Myanmar can be limited, especially outside the major cities. Insurance is available to cover any medical expenses.
- Repatriation : In the event of a serious medical emergency, insurance can cover repatriation costs, which can be very high.
- Trip cancellation : Insurance can reimburse you if your trip is cancelled unexpectedly.
- Loss of luggage : Cover may include compensation in the event of loss or theft of your personal belongings.
Types of insurance recommended
| Type of insurance | Cover | Average cost |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Emergency medical expenses | 20-30€ / week |
| Standard | Medical + cancellation | 30-50€ / week |
| Premium | Medical + cancellation + luggage | 50-70€ / week |
Important points to consider
- Duration: Make sure that your insurance covers your entire stay in Myanmar.
- Activities : If you are planning risky activities, check that they are covered by your insurance.
- Reimbursement ceilings : Check the maximum reimbursement amounts, particularly for medical expenses.
You can also contact your bank to find out whether your bank card covers you.
