Citizens of countries belonging to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) will be able to receive tourist and business visas on arrival from June 1, according to a report by the Bangkok-based daily The Nation.

The number of visitors to Burma has increased dramatically since a series of reforms was initiated last year.
