Moving from Myanmar to India: IRD + SSF
Stay permit surrender, IRD clearance, SSF export, and FX-controlled wire to NRE.
The 60-second version
Myanmar exit requires employer IRD clearance and stay permit surrender. I export SSF records, close MMK/USD accounts, and wire to NRE before India landing.
Stay permit cancel triggers payroll and tax stop
Myanmar taxes residents on income sourced in Myanmar — I obtain employer IRD withholding certificate and confirm no open assessments.
Stay permit and FEC card surrender via employer; banking restrictions may require AD bank coordination for USD wire.
SSF contributions export for records — portability to India is limited.
