Entry/Exit Requirements
"The Government of Burma strictly controls travel to, from,
and within Burma. Since October 1, 2006, Burmese authorities have
often prohibited entry or exit at most land border crossings, unless
the traveler is part of a package tour group that has received prior
permission from the Burmese authorities. A passport and visa are
required for entry into Burma. Travelers are required to show their
passports with a valid visa at all airports, train stations, and
hotels. Security checkpoints are common outside of tourist areas.
Burmese authorities rarely issues visas to persons with occupations
they deem “sensitive,” including journalists. Many journalists
and writers traveling to Burma on tourist visas have been denied
entry. Journalists and tourists mistaken for journalists have been
harassed. Some journalists have had film and notes confiscated upon
leaving the country.
In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments
have initiated procedures at entry/exit points. These often include
requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for
the child's travel from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian.
Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate
entry/departure" - US State Dept
