Visas Needed

Chungking, Mar, 4.

Chinese nationals desiring to enter Burma must obtain the, necessary passports from the Chinese Foreign Office and British Consulate visas, it is officially announced here.

The announcement says: Chinese nationals travelling overland via Yunnan province to Burma did not previously require to produce passports, but the Burmese Government last December revised the Burmese passport regulations.

"The regulations stipulate that all Chinese nationals travelling overland across the Sino-Burmese border, excepting seasonal immigrants, who are engaged in animal transport, or labourers who seek seasonal employment must possess the necessary passports, It has been decided that beginning from April 1, the examination of passports will be enforced on the Sino-Burmese border, and all Chinese nationals travelling to Burma whether by land or air must obtain passports and British Consulate visas,"—Reuter.
