: 3. boarding and leaving the country

1. Prepare the certificates and documents to be carried.

International travel health certificate (which can shorten the isolation time after entry)

Description of nucleic acid test report

The test report must be within 72 hours before arrival in Yangon. The location of nucleic acid testing can be done at the testing institution at the flight departure place or at the testing institution where I live, but the following points should be noted:

1 The contents of the test report should be in English or both (Myanmar officials can't read Chinese, so they don't recognize the test report only in Chinese. Select testing institutions that can report in English.

The test report should have my English name and passport number.

The test report must be printed as a paper document with the red seal of the testing organization stamped on it; It can't be an electronic version, and it can't be a photo in a mobile phone.

4 Calculate the time for testing and reporting. The test should not be too early, but it must be within 72 hours before arriving in Yangon. Some inspection agencies can report the same day, while others can only report the next day. It is necessary to calculate whether the time when the inspection report is issued matches the time when the plane takes off.

About obtaining the health certificate of international travel

1 1 month later, the Myanmar government introduced new entry control measures for foreigners, stipulating that foreigners who have been vaccinated and hold the International Travel Health Certificate can be quarantined for 7 days, while foreigners who do not have this certificate still need to be quarantined for 10 days.

2. Registration process

Check in at the airline counter, change the boarding pass, enter the international departure port, check the customs baggage, check the border and exit, check the safety, wait for the plane and take off.

Airlines 1 suggest that you arrive 4.5 hours before departure for check-in and check-in procedures, because under the epidemic prevention and control, it takes more time for international flights to go through security check, exit formalities and epidemic prevention and control inspection before departure.

When you change your boarding pass, you need to show your passport, visa, nucleic acid detection certificate and other documents to the airline. After that, check the luggage and print the boarding pass.

3 Enter the international departure port, scan the QR code, make entry-exit health declaration, and register and fill in personal exit information.

Arrive at the "customs inspection counter", pass the carry-on baggage through the baggage security machine, and the customs will check whether there are any articles that need to be declared or prohibited from leaving the country.

Go to the "border inspection" channel and show your passport and visa to go through the exit formalities. At the same time, the border inspection staff may ask Myanmar to issue an invitation letter, and China to issue a confirmation letter, as well as relevant information about leaving the country.

After completing the above procedures, finally, through the "security check", enter the terminal and wait for boarding.

Four. Access and isolation

General procedures for entry

Arrive by plane, go through immigration formalities and go to the hotel for quarantine. Quarantine is over, release!

1. Entry preparation on the plane: flight attendants will issue entry cards and health declaration cards on the plane for passengers to fill in.

All contents of 1 should be filled in English. This is the reference text for both cards.

Special reminder: please remember to bring your signature or ballpoint pen before boarding. Of course, you can also borrow your pen from others, and generally you won't refuse.

2. After disembarking at Yangon Airport, follow the airport staff to enter the entry hall from the covered bridge. Don't worry if you don't know the process and can't find a place. The arrival hall is not big, and all the entry processes can be seen in your field of vision. Just go with the flow.

3. The entry process from the flight arrival hall on the second floor to the entry hall on the first floor includes:

Pass the health and epidemic prevention inspection-police entry information inspection, entry and exit inspection, baggage claim, boarding-and stay in the isolation hotel.

1 queue up for "health and epidemic prevention" inspection: first, non-contact temperature measurement, health declaration card, nucleic acid test report, 7-day isolation certificate, and take it back after showing the international travel health certificate and stamping it;

Then go with the team and show the passport, Myanmar invitation letter, Myanmar company business card or other information of Myanmar company to the checking police at the police counter;

Then go to the entry-exit counter, show your passport (visa, hand in your entry card and affix your entry stamp.

4 after the above I

After arriving at Yangon airport, all passengers are not allowed to contact with outsiders, nor are relatives and friends allowed to pick up the plane, except the staff of various departments of the airport. After the entry formalities are completed, the quarantine hotel staff arranged by the airport epidemic prevention department will conduct quarantine directly. Only when the isolation is over and you leave the isolation hotel can you see your relatives and friends.

Isolated hotel

1. In principle, isolated hotels are arranged in turn in hotels approved by the Myanmar government that can receive isolated personnel.

2. If you want to stay in your designated hotel for isolation, you must first see whether this hotel has passed the acceptance of the Myanmar government and whether it has isolation qualifications; Secondly, you must apply to Yangon Epidemic Prevention Committee at least 7 days in advance (hotels that plan to stay can apply. After obtaining the consent, the hotel can arrange a car to pick up the plane at the airport and send it to the hotel for isolation.

The price of isolation

1. The hotel room rate is $ 70- 100 per person per day (including three meals) (the room rate is slightly different according to the hotel level and room type, and the air ticket price from the airport to the hotel is $ 5- 10 per person (different hotels charge different fees. The Myanmar government announced that the cost of two nucleic acid tests was 200,000 kyats per person each time, but most hotels charged in US dollars.

2. Within a few days after staying in the hotel, the hotel service staff will inform the guests to pay and provide detailed information. You can also have someone else pay at the front desk of the hotel.

In addition, it should be noted that the hotel may leave the guest's passport at the front desk and return it to the guest when checking out after isolation.

nucleic acid testing

After check-in, the hotel service staff will call the guests to inform them when to do the nucleic acid test. Generally, the nucleic acid test is that guests go to a lobby of the hotel to queue up for testing. At this time, pay attention to wearing masks and other epidemic prevention items. During quarantine, you need to do two tests.

Language exchange

The isolation hotel will arrange for at least one Myanmar employee who can speak Chinese to pick up the plane from the airport to start the service, guide the shuttle bus, explain how to stay in the hotel and convey various notices. And help with translation and communication during the isolation period. If you can speak English, you can also communicate directly with the Myanmar service staff in the hotel in English without waiting for an interpreter.

Isolated diet

During the quarantine period, three meals a day are included in the hotel fee, usually fast food box lunch, fruit and soup. Every meal will be changed every day to avoid repetition. The hotels run by Burmese people are mainly Chinese food with Burmese flavor. If you are lucky enough to be isolated in a hotel run by China people, you can also eat more authentic Chinese box lunch.

And WIFI communication

The hotel's WIFI signal is not very good, but the mobile phone card signal is better. You can ask your local friends to buy mobile phone cards and traffic packets for you and forward them to your room through the hotel.

At present, there are four mobile communication companies in Myanmar, namely MPT, Ooredo, Telenor and Mytel. The communication fee and mobile data fee of each company are similar, but the other three companies are slightly cheaper than MPT. The basic fee for each card is 1500 kyats, prepaid, with no upper limit. The recharge is used up, so I can only get it, but I can't type it out. It is best to buy traffic packets in advance for mobile data, which will save money, otherwise it will feel that the loss of stored value is faster than bleeding.

Slow pace is the knowledge of people who have been to Myanmar, but it does not apply to the traffic in Myanmar. 3 to 4G traffic, although the local network is only 4G, it is not the 5G that has been popularized in China. No comparison, no harm. From this perspective, domestic mobile companies are conscientious enterprises!

leave

After the isolation, you can inform the hotel to send a baggage cart to the room to help with the luggage.

Check out at the front desk and get your passport back. The front desk will give you detailed documents of room rate, bus fare and inspection fee, as well as a confirmation letter of quarantine completion.

Pay special attention, don't forget to bring your passport when you are so happy to lift the quarantine.

Note: The quarantine certificate and inspection report must be properly kept and may need to be presented in some cases.
