Client alert: Urgent DICA requirements for Myanmar-registered entities

Aug 27 2015
Written by opmin-dfdl

The Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA) is requesting all registered companies, branches and representative offices in Myanmar to submit a company letter to DICA to confirm their activity in Myanmar. DICA announced this on its website on 24 August and ran public announcements on 25 and 26  August.

The letter must be on company letterhead and include the following details:

  • Company name
  • Registration number
  • Registration date
  • Registered address

The letter needs to state that the company is currently carrying on business in Myanmar and has to be signed by a director or a representative. Entities are required by DICA to attach to their letter the latest Form 26 or Form 18 as applicable, as well as the Certificate of Incorporation and the Permit to Trade.

The letter must be delivered to DICA no later than 14 September 2015. DICA officials have said the exercise is to assist the regulator to update their registers and expunge defunct companies. While there are no scheduled sanctions for failure to submit the required letter confirming operations, an entity may risk deregistration for failing to comply.

For further information and assistance preparing the required letter, please contact DFDL Myanmar at myanmar@dfdl.com.

The full text of the announcement and link are below:
