One misconception about visiting Myanmar is that you must buy a tour package before traveling and then change 200-300 USD into Foreign Exchange Certificates on arrival. This is no longer the case. You are free to make your own travel arrangements and you don't need to change any money.

A word of caution:
At this time, credit cards are not accepted by any merchant in Myanmar, so you might be better off purchasing a tour while abroad, otherwise bring adequate cash with you.
