The entry and exit of borders and commercial trade borders in Muse, Shan State (North), have been temporarily closed since the end of March 2021 due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting from January 2023, people holding border passes (BPs) are allowed to pass some trading gates and checkpoints. On 4 September, temporary border passes (TBPs) valid for seven days of residence permits in both countries were issued to people from all regions of Myanmar, and access to borders with those cards has been restored.
All Myanmar nationals with the correct citizenship scrutiny cards (e-ID) can make the TBPs with a document service fee of K1,000 at the Ministry of Immigration and Population at the border checkpoints to access the borders.
