Consular services for Myanmar citizens

Myanmar’s foreign ministry points citizens to the Hanoi embassy’s “Myanmar citizen services” page, but that page blocks automated access, so its content is unverified. Common needs of Myanmar nationals abroad include:

a Certificate of Identity after losing a passport;
passport-related procedures;
certification of documents and powers of attorney for use in Myanmar;
citizen registration and protection in emergencies.

In Myanmar, documents for use abroad are notarised by a notary lawyer and then attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Nay Pyi Taw or Yangon) – a step done at home, not at the embassy.

What to know before you go

Don’t turn up unannounced: ask whether you need an appointment, which days applications are accepted and when to collect.
ID to bring: your Myanmar passport (including expired ones if you have them), proof of residence in Vietnam and photos to Myanmar’s specifications.
Closures cover both Vietnamese public holidays and Myanmar’s national and religious holidays.
Follow the security rules at the entrance; phones and bags may be checked.
Foreigners who need a Myanmar visa are better off using the online eVisa: visitors report results in about two days and fairly quick email replies; print the eVisa to show on arrival.
Counter staff are reported to give brief answers – bring your questions, a written itinerary and complete documents so the submission goes smoothly.
If you apply for a visa sticker at the embassy, you usually return a few days (sometimes about a week) later to collect your passport – plan your travel around this.

Common reasons foreigners contact the embassy

Most Myanmar nationals contact their mission for one of four reasons:

Lost passport: police report → emergency travel document or new passport from the mission → new visa or exit procedures, because the old visa was in the lost passport.
Expired or full passport: after renewal, transfer your visa or temporary residence card to the new passport at the immigration office.
Marriage, a child’s birth, a work permit: certificates of single status, birth certificates and criminal records need legalisation and a notarised translation.
Signature certification, powers of attorney, citizen or overseas voter registration.

For a visa extension or an Vietnam e-visa for visiting relatives, you deal with the Vietnamese authorities.

Help with Myanmar passport applications in Vietnam

There is no current official information confirming whether Myanmar’s mission in Vietnam issues or renews passports on site. If it does not, the usual options are applying through the passport authority at home (in person or via relatives, where Myanmar’s law allows) or obtaining an emergency travel document to return home and apply there.

Where passports are issued, applicants normally attend in person for photos and biometrics. Info Travel helps within what the mission permits: checking requirements and booking, forms, photos, translating Vietnamese documents and directions. On the Vietnamese side we handle everything: extending your stay while you wait, transferring your visa or temporary residence card to the new passport, a new visa or exit procedures if you travel on an emergency document.

Consular legalisation, certification (MOFA / HCMC External Relations stamps) and notarised translation

Myanmar is not a party to the Apostille Convention (even though it has applied to Vietnam since 11 September 2026), so documents between the two countries still follow the certification-and-legalisation chain. Background: apostille vs consular legalisation.

a) Myanmar documents for use in Vietnam: certification by Myanmar’s competent authority (usually the foreign ministry) and legalisation at the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in Myanmar; or certification by Myanmar’s mission in Vietnam (if it offers this) followed by legalisation at the Consular Department (MOFA, Hanoi) or the HCMC Department of External Relations. Then a notarised translation into Vietnamese. Legalisation is required in every case unless exempted under an international treaty to which both Vietnam and Myanmar are party.

b) Vietnamese documents for use in Myanmar: translation, consular certification at the Consular Department or HCMC External Relations, then legalisation at Myanmar’s mission in Vietnam (ask first about submission days and translation requirements).

For Myanmar documents, the first step is notarisation by a notary lawyer recognised by the Union Supreme Court, then attestation by Myanmar’s foreign ministry; documents whose notary signature is older than six months may be refused.

Info Travel handles the whole chain: translation, notarisation, MOFA/External Relations stamps (or apostille), and submission and collection at the mission. See our consular legalisation service; quotes on WhatsApp +84327828822.
