Asean citizens to get entry visa-free
Myanmar will allow visa-free entry to citizens of other Asean countries next fiscal year, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During a parliamentary session on Monday, Deputy Minister Tin Oo Lwin said that Myanmar and Laos signed a reciprocal 14-day visa exemption for ordinary passport holders in 2006. It will try to sign visa exemptions with the other Asean countries in the next fiscal year.
Myanmar received over US$29 billion (Bt935 billion) in visa fees from April 2011 to May 2013.
The country signed an agreement with Cambodia, Indonesia and Philippines in June to develop a single “smart visa” system for tourism development in the region.
