Union Minister for Immigration and Population U Myint Kyaing stated that additional Border Pass (BP) booklets will be sent to facilitate smoother travel to Ruili, China, for residents of Muse District in Shan State (North).
The Union minister made the statement in response to a starred question raised by Pyithu Hluttaw Representative U Aung Zaw Moe (aka) U Aung Zaw Moe Tun from the Muse Constituency during the 14th day of the second regular session of the Third Pyithu Hluttaw held on 25 June, in which the representative asked whether there were plans to ensure that Muse residents could quickly and easily obtain Border Pass (BP) booklets for entry into Ruili, China.
Regarding the enquiry, Union Minister U Myint Kyaing informed the Hluttaw that as of 23 June, more than 80,000 Border Pass (BP) booklets remained in stock in Muse District, and added that plans are underway to send an additional 90,000 booklets to prevent any delays if local demand increases, with coordination being carried out across relevant sectors to ensure timely delivery.
According to the Union minister, Border Pass (BP) booklets are issued in accordance with regulations only to civil servants stationed in border areas and to local residents who are genuinely and permanently residing within Muse District.
