Eain/Yoon (NP News) - Feb 16
A leading foreign employment services provider told The Statesman that the viral news regarding the issue of banning men aged between 18 and 35 departing from the country was only a verbal order, and there was no official announcement.
The news was viral that men between the ages of 18 and 35 who are eligible for military service have been banned from traveling abroad since January 30.
The source stated that the temporary closure was only a verbal order, as demands were allowed to be filed, and no official announcement had been issued yet.
"Demands are still being allowed to be submitted. Therefore, for now, it's temporarily closed. It's just a verbal order. It was not an official announcement. Minister U Myint Naung said that the day before that appointment. The department said it was issued a verbal order. It was not an official announcement. The main thing is that it's temporarily closed because of the regulations that require notification if people go abroad. It means that people can go later with recommendations. It's not completely closed," he said.
In addition, only those with permits are allowed to travel to Thailand to work, and since February 14, women, including men, have been temporarily banned from traveling to Thailand to work.
Sections 50 and 51 of the People Military Service Law stipulate that those who have passed the medical examination and received military service orders are not allowed to leave the country without the permission of the Central Body for Summoning People's Military Servants.
On February 7, State Administration Council (SAC) spokesperson Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun announced that there are currently no plans to recruit female civilian military personnel and that women are still allowed to travel abroad.
The law defines a person of military age as any ci w tizen who has reached the age of 18 and has not yet reached the age of 35 for males and any citizen who has reached the age of 18 and has not yet reached the age of 27 for females.–
