The recommendations were submitted for consideration of national leaders at the following day’s 6th ACMECS Summit in the Myanmar capital. U Moe Myint Kyaw, Secretary-General of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, said the proposed ACMECS Single Visa Scheme would allow tourists to apply for a visa from just one of the countries and visit all five.
The Single Visa Scheme would allow tourists to apply for a visa from just one of the countries and visit all five. The ACMECS Joint Business Council urged all five countries to continue developing a framework to implement the scheme.
