Current Myanmar (Burma) Entry Requirements

Dive boats make special arrangements to enter the Mergui Archipelago, which
is a part of Burma or *Myanmar*. We do not use the same procedures as you
would if you actually entered Burma by plane or overland.

• A Burmese Visa is *not* required.
  
  
• Burma entry fees are currently $ 200 US per person, per entry (*not per day*)
  
  
• This fee is required in US cash only, new bills please (*no checks, credit cards, or other currencies are accepted for this fee*).
  This is the policy of the Burmese, *not* our policy.
  
  
• Please buy the US dollars before you arrive in Thailand.
  *Foreign currencies are difficult if not impossible to buy here without a lot of work and wasted holiday time. *
  
  
• If your country of citizenship requires you to have a Thai visa, please make sure you get a double entry visa as in most cases you will be leaving Thailand. So, please check with the Royal Thai Consulate in your country for further information.

They also require:

• Full name as written in your passport
  
• Passport number, nationality, and place of issue
  
• Date of issue and date of expiry
  
• Date of birth
  
• Gender

These must be emailed or faxed to us at least one week before the trip departs.

In addition, the following must be brought with you:

• FOUR copies of the front page of your passport.
  
• FOUR copies of the Thai entry stamp and immigration card (received upon arrival into Thailand).
  
• FOUR recent color passport-size photographs (Polaroid's are fine).

Note: These rules change from time to time. Most of the time we can sort it out upon your arrival, but please have the above paperwork ready in a clean envelope separate from your other travel documents.

Please have the US cash in this envelope as well, *exact change and new bills*. This makes our entry and exit procedures much quicker and easier, so you get more diving in.
The officials are, well, rather official acting. So, please have patience with the process and be polite. We do our best to make it as painless as possible!

Free assistance: Similan Diving Safaris is here to help in any way we can to make your holiday trouble free. Please don't hesitate to ask us for help regarding an airport pickup, rooms (If you want to look for accomodation hotels Khao Lak), transport to and from Khao Lak or any other needs you may require, please email us
