Myanmar passport: post-coup restrictions on consular services + Western scrutiny

Following the February 2021 military coup, Myanmar passport renewals have been disrupted; many international missions have raised the bar for visa applications. The US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia apply targeted sanctions to coup leaders but routine visa processing for ordinary Myanmar nationals continues with longer scrutiny windows.

Most Burmese travellers don't need a visa when heading to Samoa for tourism.

The route most travellers use is the Visa-free (60 days). Stays go up to 60 days per visit.

The paperwork is straightforward — approval is likely if your documents are in order.
