Does an investor in the Dawei SEZ need to get an investment permit from the Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC)?

No. Investors in all Special Economic Zones in Myanmar are not under the ambit of the Foreign Investment Law, but under the Special Economic Zone Law, hence, they need to get the investment permit from the Management Committee of the respective Special Economic Zones, where they invest. For Dawei SEZ, this is the Dawei SEZ Management Committee.
