Entry Procedures (From Ranong) |
Visitors to the Mergui Archipelago and the Burma
Banks must clear Myanmar(Burma) customs and
immigration. Entry formalities are surprisingly
straightforward and with few days. Tour operators
usually take care of entry details, so you need not
be too concerned with the actual procedure.
Valid passport copy and four recent photos are
required, along with a visa fees US$ 20 for 28 days
and an entry fee, currently set at US$ 80 to $120
depending on your destination and duration of stay
for foreign base tour boat. For this reason,
passports are not stamped, nor does such entry allow
you to travel elsewhere in Myanmar(Burma). Under the
present system, if you buy package tour from foreign
base tour Operators, you are strictly limited to the
Mergui Archipelago and the Burma Banks, according to
the specific itinerary of the trip you have joined.
Visitors are allowed to visit Myeik(Mergui)
Archipelago as well as inside Myanmar(Burma) by Boat
or Air, if they buy package tour from Myanmar(Burma)
Tour Operators. Visitors could visit to Myeik (Mergui),
Dawei (Tavoy), Yangon (Rangoon) and etc. The
visitors could leave the Myanmar(Burma) from the
same entry point (Kawthaung) as well as opther
entry/exit point such as Yangon International
Airport and Mandalay International Airport.
