Welcome to S.E.A. Charters Frequently Asked Questions section on our Burma Diving Live-aboard cruises on board Faah Yai.

We have done our best to compile a list of questions that our Guests ask us before embarking on one of Faah Yai's Burma Diving cruises.

Current 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 range from $150 US up to $190 US per person, per entry (not per day)

They also require:

These must be emailed or faxed to us at least one week before the trip departs, please download files from the section below.

In addition, the following MUST be brought with you:

1. FOUR copies of the front page of your passport.
2. FOUR copies of the Thai entry stamp and immigration card (received upon arrival into Thailand).
3. 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. So, please have patience with the process and be polite. We do our best to make it as painless as possible!

Thanks for your cooperation.

A3. We can pick-up and drop-off passengers en route to and from Phuket Airport or Kao Lack, as well as the usual pick-ups from your hotel in Kata, Karon, Patong or Kamala.

VERY IMPORTANT - Be sure to reconfirm your onward flights before leaving on the boat; otherwise you may find your seat has been sold! Your hotel or our office staff can be of assistance.
