MACAO, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Passport holders of China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) were granted visa-free access to Myanmar, the Macao SAR's identification services bureau said in a press release on Wednesday.

Holders of the Macao SAR passport can enter Myanmar for tourism through Yangon International Airport, Mandalay International Airport, Nay Pyi Taw International Airport, Yangon international seaport, Myanmar-Thailand land border checkpoints and Myanmar-India land border checkpoints for a maximum stay of 30 days, the bureau said.

This new measure was put into use on a trial basis for one year starting from Oct. 1 this year.

A total of 138 countries and regions have agreed to grant visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to Macao SAR passport holders.
