FAQS

1-Q : What currency do you use in Burma? What is the current exchange rate for that currency against the US Dollar?
Ans : The local currency used is called Kyat (pronounced “chat”, abbreviated as Ks). The currency exchange rate is around 1200 Kyats against the US Dollar (as at 1st July, 2006 closing time).

2- Q : I understand that I have to exchange US$200 into FEC (Foreign Exchange Currency) upon arrival in Burma. Does this requirement still exist? I was also told that the FEC is worth about 25% less than the US Dollar when changed into Burma Kyat. Is this correct?
Ans : No. The requirement to exchange the above specified amount upon arrival no longer exists. It is also not correct that the FEC is worth 25% less than the US Dollar. The FEC is officially equal to the US Dollar in value and so far has similar exchange rates (which sometimes slightly vary) to the local Kyat currency.

3-Q : During travel in Burma, can we be able to use our credit cards? If so, what types of credits are commonly accepted? If not, what types of currencies should we bring?
