Myanmar, home to over 54 million people, is the 26th most populous country globally. It is located in Southeast Asia, and its capital is Naypyidaw. The official language is Burmese. Despite its extensive population, Myanmar ranks low in terms of passport power, with limited visa-free access globally.

The Burmese passport's lack of power reflects the country's political and economic climate. Myanmar has been marred by internal conflicts and international sanctions. This has impacted the country's ability to negotiate visa-free agreements with other nations. Despite these challenges, Myanmar continues to work towards improving its international standing.

Some destinations that require a visa for Burmese passport holders accept a valid US, UK, Canadian or Schengen visa or residence permit instead. Check which ones in our guide to traveling with a residence permit.
