Travelling to Myanmar will now be easier for Indians

Indian travellers can now apply for a visa on arrival at the Yangon, Nay Pyi Taw, and Mandalay airports in Myanmar. The ruling has been effective from 1^st December as announced by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, and Population. With this new visa reform, travelling to Myanmar will now be easier for Indians.

Prior to this, on 1^st October, the Ministry eased the visa rules for travellers from Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Macau. It also started issuing visa on arrival to Chinese travellers.

41,197 Indians visited Myanmar in 2017, as per The Hotels and Tourism Ministry. This year, from January to October, 35,412 Indian travellers visited the country. Thus, 2018 has seen a 4.27% increase in the number of Indian tourists to Myanmar as compared to last year during the same period.

The General Secretary of the Union of Myanmar Travel Association, U Naung Naung Han, said that the number of Indian visitors is not very big. However, India has immense potential for growth. Lots of Indian tourists are travelling to other countries like Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. Such tourists may also be interested in tours to Mandalay, Bagan, and Yangon and to some of Myanmar’s beaches.

Currently, 50 countries can avail visa on arrival in Myanmar, as per the Myanmar Times.
