为了将线下监控系统转变为线上监控系统，缅甸投资委员会（简称“MIC”）于2024年2月21日发布了通知（简称“通知”），宣布持有许可证或认可的公司将有更多时间重新注册并将数据录入新的缅甸投资在线（简称“MyinO”）系统。这也意味着与这些公司外国员工相关的申请的过渡期也延长了，允许截止日期2024年6月30日前，继续以纸质形式提交申请。 因此，无论您是考虑申请投资许可证，或已经拥有许可证，或打算为您的缅甸投资业务雇佣外国专家，以下是您需要了解的关键细节： 需要重新录入到系统的数据是什么？ 根据该通知，持有投资许可证的公司，必须确保重新输入所有与投资相关数据，包括许可证颁发日期后所做的任何活动或投资变更。 重新录入数据的过渡期是什么时候？ 数据重新录入和提交与公司外国员工相关的申请的过渡期从原定的截止日期2023年9月1日延长至2024年6月30日。此日期之后，所有外国员工任命申请只能通过MyInO系统进行提交。 所有投资许可证持有者都必须在MyinO系统中重新录入信息吗？ 虽然没有明确规定必须重新注册，但实际上，这对于申请处理是必要的，因为只有在投资数据录入系统后，才能进行后续的申请提交。 关于外国专家任命的申请如何提交？ 在过渡期间，所有与外国专家相关的事务，如任命外国专家（工作居留许可）、调整员工人数以及管理外国专家的辞职，仍然可以通过邮寄或现场递交，除此之外，还可以在重新录入数据后通过MyInO提交。然而，在过渡期结束后（即根据通告为2024年6月30日），此类外国员工任命只能通过在线提交进行。 如果不遵守通知的后果是什么？ 尽管投资公司在MyinO的数据重新录入并非强制性的，但如果未能这样做，将无法在线提交工作许可申请，也不再接受现场提交。因此，建议所有投资许可证持有者尽快重新录入信息，以免对公司业务运营造成延误，因为重新录入信息过程可能需要时间。 如果您有任何疑问或需要帮助，请联系您的VDB Loi专属顾问。
