Travel (Burma) Myanmar Tour Services Visa and package

There are two kinds of currency used in Myanmar, FEC and Kyat.

Kyat is the local currency pronounced as "Kyat". Official rate of exchange is 1 USD equal to about 6 Kyats but the market rate is 1 USD equal to around 1000 Kyats.

FEC is the currency mainly meant to be used by tourist. 1 FEC is equivalent to 1 USD.

In the past, we have problem with changing USD 200 into FEC at the airport. E.V.T ( F.I.T ) need to change but E.V.T ( package ) no need to change. more information

So at that time we recommeded our clients to get E.V.T ( package ) in order to avoid changing FEC.

Now things have improved. Neither kind of Visa need to change, so we now recommed our clients to get E.V.T ( F.I.T ) which is easier and simpler.

Credit Cards

Notes : With effect from last Nov'2003 not any cards / travellers cheques / ATM cards are
