It added that the BBC reporter had entered the country and stayed from June 6 to 13 in 2006 and in September 2007 with a tourist visa.He was holding a new passport number when he tried to enter into the country, the government alleged.
Burma says workers must pass constitution
Five days after the devastating cyclone in Burma, international relief agencies are still finding it difficult to get official permission to bring in supplies for an estimated one million people who've been made homeless.
Burma's military rulers have allowed aircraft from friendly neighbours including Thailand, India and China to send in relief.
And reports say an aid flight organised by the Italian government has landed in Rangoon.
But three UN planes loaded with relief supplies are still on stand-by, awaiting permission to enter Burma.
And the United States says it's still not been given approval to send in its military aircraft carrying emergency aid.
