How this compares
The Burmese passport ranks #186 worldwide, opening 42 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (12 visa-free, 27 with a visa on arrival and 3 with an eTA). Eswatini is not among them — it is one of the 107 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
