Myanmar and Thai citizens, as well as foreign tourists, will be allowed to pass through four Thai-Myanmar border checkpoints, including Myawady, starting from August 28, an official said.
"We have received instructions to allow
Thai citizens and foreign tourists to pass through all four border
checkpoints on August 28. The remarkable thing is that Myanmar citizens
with visas and passports will also be allowed to visit [Thailand]
through the border crossings," said an official from the Immigration and
National Registration Department of Myawady District.
The four checkpoints include
Tarchileik-Mae Sai, Myawady-Mae Sot, Kawthaung-Ranong and Htee
Khee-Sunaron. Fine will be imposed if their visa expired.
Foreign visitors using the border
crossings can depart from Myanmar through any official gateways
including Yangon, Nay Pyi Taw, and Mandalay.
The government has amended its list of restricted areas after an improvement in rules of law and stability in the country.
