Entry Requirements Mynamar

[spacebass]

I note that it is a requirement below that aliens entering Mynamar have to change 200US$ eqivalant into local currency on arrival , how does this work out on an in/out visa run situation? I can't imagine anyone going to Mynamar on a visa run if this is required.

It also says below can only arrive by air and sea, also a contradiction on what I read vis a vis visa runs to Mynamar.

Anyone any ideas?

Never come accross this.

When you do a border run from Ranong, you cross by long tail.

You need a crisp new $10 bill plus a photocopy of the ID page from your passport - that's it.

Same goes for the border at Mae Sod, you just pay the fee. No need to change money.

Visa run? Don't you mean a border run (leaving Thailand and comming right back)? A visa run is when you leave Thailand to get a new visa at an embassy or consulate.

Changing $200 into FECs used to be the practice in Rangoon airport for international arrivals, but it has been stopped. Border crossings only require money for visa fees.
