The Apostolic Nunciature to Myanmar is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Myanmar. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. Since 2023, the Apostolic Nunciature to Myanmar has been independent from Thailand; it has its own Office/Residence in Yangon with a resident Chargé d'Affaires a.i. (Annuario Pontificio 2026, p. 1555).
Pope John Paul II established the Holy See's Delegation to Myanmar on 13 September 1990.[1] It became a nunciature and the first nuncio was appointed on 12 August 2017.[2]
