Which law governs the limitation period for registering a foreign judgment or arbitration award?

The law of the place of enforcement. In Myanmar, this will be the Limitation Act 1908.

If the limitation period for registering a foreign judgment is governed by the law of the place of enforcement, what is that limitation period in your jurisdiction?

Article 117 of the First Schedule of the Limitation Act 1908 provides that a suit must be filed within 6 years from the date of the foreign judgment.

If the limitation period for registering a foreign arbitration award is governed by the law of the place of enforcement, what is that limitation period in your jurisdiction?

Not expressly stipulated under the Limitation Act 1908. The Arbitration Law 2016 provides for foreign awards to be enforced under the Civil Procedure Court in the same manner as if it were a decree of the court. In that regard, it may be likely that the suit must be filed within 6 years from the date of the foreign arbitral award.
