Myanmar trip Sept 2012
I will go to that country in Sept 2012. I thought I would not need visa because it is part of ASEAN countries. However, foreigners still need to apply entry visa to Myanmar . This policy is annoying because it is conflictual with the willingness of the country to be more open. How come you still restrict people from ASEAN when you promise to be open country. I hope when I depart in next September, that policy will have been abolished. I do hope it is materialized because I already booked the hotel and paid for my ticket. Myanmar should allow ASEAN citizen to travel free without visa

Illegal immigrants who overstay visas will no longer be put in detention camps
ILLEGAL immigrants will no longer be locked up and deported when caught by authorities, in a major softening of immigration procedures.
Instead, people who overstay their visas will be invited into an immigration office and could even get temporary bridging visas.
Immigration officers have been instructed not to detain visa violators unless they are known to be violent criminals or have previously been instructed to leave.
Until last week, illegal foreigners were immediately detained at detention centres and put on planes home within weeks.
The new approach is in line with a general softening of immigration policy by the Rudd Government.
Under the policy, officers are required to issue illegal foreigners with bridging visas and work with them to get them home.
"We basically have to invite them into the office for a coffee," an insider within the department said.
"They can get a couple of weeks or six months, whatever it takes to get them home without detaining them."
Mandatory detention was axed last year, but until now only asylum seekers have been allowed to live in the community.
The new directive from Immigration Minister Chris Evans' office was issued to immigration officers verbally last week.
There are almost 50,000 visa overstayers living illegally in Australia.
More than one in 10 is from China.
Entrants from the US, Malaysia and Britain are also big overstayers.
Most come in on tourist visas, but about 3600 are foreign students who disappear into the community when their course is over.
The Government has also closed down offshore processing facilities on Nauru and Manus Island.
Senator Evans' directive has divided opinion within department ranks, with some fearing the softer approach could send a dangerous message.
"I guess it says people can pretty much do whatever they want now," the insider said.
"They've been caught, but they can stay and go home when they want."
The move could open the floodgates for unwelcome visitors.
"It certainly could be open for exploitation," the insider said. "Prisons are not nice places to be in. Many of these people are not criminals, but I guess it doesn't convey a strong message."
Senator Evans said detention would only be used as a last resort.
"The presumption will be that persons will remain in the community while their immigration status is resolved," he said.
"If a person is complying with immigration processes and is not a risk to the community, then detention in a detention centre cannot be justified.
"The department will have to justify a decision to detain - not presume detention."

amnesty for illegal migrants
The Forerunner • View topic - Legal temporary-worker status for illegal immigrants?
Focusing on whether illegals ought to be granted amnesty if they meet certain qualifications is not the issue at all.
The logical question to ask is this: What would happen to the numbers of illegals entering our country each year if housing, education, Social Security, and legal services were not made available to them at all. If the United States would return to a pre-New Deal social order, which would be closer to a biblical social order, "illegal" immigration would not even be an issue.
Scripture states:
"If a man will not work, let him not eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10 ).
The problem is not illegal immigration. The problem is the New Deal and Great Society programs which have led an entire class of people into financial bondage and dependence on the "Great Savior State" socialist programs that drain the rich and keep the poor poor.
If these programs were shut down, then there would simply be no problem with illegal immigration.
If we allowed immigration rights to hard working people who want to succeed and pursue the American dream, then we would have the strongest economy in the world. But in order to do so, we would first have to know who these people are.
I've always thought it is ridiculous to require a green card and residency status first for people who want to work. All this does is ensure that the socialist programs will continue to threaten the financial security of our future.
I propose allowing people to work in the country for a period of one year before they would be allowed to apply for residency. If they can show that they are able to work for one year with no financial asistance from the government and not violate any laws, then they ought to be given temporary worker status and the opportunity to apply for residency. If they work for two more years without assistance, they ought to be granted permanent resident status. If they continue for three years after that, they should be granted citizenship. But the qualification for that six year period ought to be the ability to support themselves.
I believe that the hardest working people in the country are the immigrants who come here out of a love of freedom and dignity. We ought to welcome as many of these people as possible.
The logical transistion to this sane policy would be to grant amnesty to "illegals" who are otherwise law-abiding and hard working.
