Entry Regulations
Myanmar is one of the countries most difficult to travel
in Southeast Asia, also considering the manifold regulations
which have to be observed. There are, for instance, complicated
regulations concerning financial transactions (see currency),
many parts of the country are restricted from travel due to rebel
activities.
All travellers to Myanmar are required to have a
visa. In order to attract more foreign currency into the country
by tourism the validity of the visa has in the meantime been extended
to 28 days for decades only twoweek visa had been available.
A Burmese embassy only issues a visa, if you can provide proof,
that you have booked at least a few days accommodation in advance
from abroad.
As the Burmese principally prefer tourists to book "complete
travel arrangements" from abroad, visa seem to be
easier and faster to obtain by a tour agent than by independent
travellers.
