Upon arrival at Yangon International Airport, passengers are required to go to the airport health counter and to do the following procedures: 

• Show the necessary COVID-19 virus-free PCR test and immunization certificate.
• Once the documents have been verified, passengers can go through the immigration process and pick up their luggage.
• After departure from the arrival area, passengers can obtain the information on the entrance to the Health Counter Quarantine arranged by the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism.
• The quarantine will be provided with check-in and check-out transportation arrangements, and foreign travellers on commercial flights will be able to enter the hotel with a one-day quarantine.
