Netizen submission:
It is reported that the price of the 7-day "one-time entry card" used for short-term tourism in Ruili City, China, has recently skyrocketed in the hands of black market intermediaries. Originally, the entry card, which only cost 2,000 Myanmar Kyat, is now being priced up to 1.3 million Myanmar Kyat.
Due to the recent unexplained suspension of the 7-day entry card processing by the immigration office on the Myanmar side, the price of this card in the black market has soared.
Recently, many Myanmar workers have arrived at the Muse border in various ways, preparing to enter China, but they face increasing costs and exploitation by intermediaries.
"I asked the immigration office, and they said they only allow people with poor health or urgent needs to go through the entry procedures, but they did not explain why the processing of ordinary entry cards was completely suspended," said the person.
