Why did Myanmar restart landing visa?

According to Myanmar's golden phoenix Daily, Wu, chairman of the Myanmar Tourism Association, said that Myanmar would resume the system of traveling to landing visa. According to the preliminary plan, landing visa will be piloted at Yangon International Airport for tourists from 22 countries and regions, including China, and it is expected to be implemented within 65,438+February this year.

According to the report, Myanmar began to approve foreign tourism teams to apply for visas on arrival in 1999, but the visa on arrival system was suspended after the implementation of e-visa in 20 14. Landing visa is only open to China citizens who hold ordinary passports for personal reasons, so it is very troublesome to apply for landing visa. With the resumption of landing visa's policy, it will be more convenient to explore this "country of thousands of towers".

Lonely planet

What do you think of when you talk about Myanmar? This country where monks are more respected than rock stars is different from any other place you know. Since 1962, Myanmar has been hidden in front of the world with a "closed" and "mysterious" attitude. The purity and nature it has sealed still have infinite attraction even for the most tired travelers.

Exploring Myanmar will make you feel that you have crossed the last century and once closed, giving it a "slow life" that you can't find anywhere. Walking in Myanmar is also easier to get a calm rhythm and simple happiness. It is easy for you to meet devout and enthusiastic locals who are open to strangers and the world. ?

What's interesting about Myanmar? Is there anything else to pay attention to? The following is a comprehensive strategy for Myanmar summarized by Lonely Planet. If you can't wait to uncover the mystery of this land, get ready quickly ~

Go to Myanmar

It is most convenient for China to go to Myanmar from Kunming. China Eastern Airlines has a direct flight from Kunming to Yangon, which takes only 2 hours. Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines all operate flights from Shanghai-Guangzhou to Yangon or Mandalay, but generally they need to change planes. Singapore Airlines, Vietnam Airlines and Malaysia Airlines also operate the above routes, and the discount price is very advantageous. ?

Myanmar International Airlines has two direct flights to Guangzhou and Yangon every Thursday and Sunday. It is also worthwhile to try to take a cheap flight. For example, AirAsia flights from Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur to Yangon usually have lower discounts, and there is no need to apply for an additional visa for transit countries.

apply for a visa

Myanmar's landing visa policy is expected to be implemented this year. However, due to the constant changes in visa processing in Myanmar, if you want to take a safer approach, you can also apply for an electronic visa in www.evisa.moip.gov.mm. The fee for a single entry visa is US$ 50, valid for 3 months and staying for 28 days.

Pre-departure list

I. booking hotels, flights and cruise ships

Two. Obtain the necessary permits to facilitate travel in restricted areas (there are many areas in Myanmar that are forbidden to travel or need to enter, mainly Chin, Kachin, Kayah and Karen States, as well as Mandalay and Telindayi areas. If you want to get this permit, you can find an experienced travel agency to help you.

Three. Prepare brand-new US dollar cash (only the brand-new US dollar cash without folds, seals, stains and handwriting in 2006 and beyond can pass through Myanmar unimpeded and can be used for payment or exchange into kyats. When traveling, spread it out and put it in your wallet. )

Four. Vaccinate with the necessary vaccines

Don't miss these experiences.

You can try to find your own zodiac sign in countless temples to worship, and use a telescope to find the 76-carat diamond embedded in the top of the tower. The atmosphere here is either quiet enough for meditation or full of energy, depending on the time of your visit that day. If you like quiet meditation, just before the cool dawn; If you are not afraid of the hustle and bustle, you can watch the golden pagoda scenery intertwined with fiery red and burnt orange at sunset. ?

However, it is important to understand that this hiking trip is more of a cultural experience, and it is very likely that one night will be spent in the family of Boao or Denu, and the other night will be spent in the Buddhist temple. At the same time, if you enter the nearby wilderness, the government may acquiesce, which is a rare experience in Myanmar. ?

7. Go to the forefront of white beaches in Asia.

Scream, beach warden! Even if you have traveled all over Southeast Asia, you can't believe there is another place like the Murgi Islands-more than 800 white sand beach islands! Here, the sea is clear and the marine life is rich. You can often see turtles and sea snakes, and you can also see a lot of manta rays. Many islands are top diving resorts, including coral-rich submarine canyons and submarine passages, and some have even become marine national parks. ?

Blessed are the fans who want to avoid the crowd. There is only one beach resort in Mergi, which means that 800 islands have become your private country. It is time-consuming and expensive to visit here. Those who are willing to invest must belong to a small group of people who claim to witness the "ultimate frontier of Asia". ?

When traveling to Myanmar for the first time, most people will choose Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and other popular destinations. For you who are visiting here for the first time, it will take at least 1 week to get a panoramic view of the classic beauty of Myanmar and leave enough time for each city to enjoy the "slow life" of Myanmar.

Although Myanmar has made great progress recently, it is still not a free and easy travel destination. From visa application and cash exchange to hotel reservation and transportation, you should plan carefully in advance, so that your trip to Myanmar will be easy and smooth.

Tourism is still a major source of income in Myanmar.
