Hi – how current is this information about Myanmar? Seems like much of it is several years old – are vessels still required to have an MTT agent aboard when cruising?
Hi Ian, thanks for your question. It seems nothing much has changed in Myanmar according to our contacts in SE Asia. A Guide is still required aboard, fees are the same (plus a 1000US$ extra per trip as a one off fee per trip – related to nothing special). No license is needed ahead of time now, you just pay per trip. MTT still handle things and Customs, Immigration and Harbor department still board in Kawthaung – same as before. Paperwork to be filled out before is the same and time frames to get it in are the same. I hope that helps.
