THE Myanmar Embassy in the United States has specifically advised Myanmar citizens there to be aware of local laws, visa regulations, traffic regulations, and announcements from authorities.
The host government strictly enforces immigration laws, focusing on detaining and prosecuting illegal immigrants and criminal offenders to ensure security and public safety, and urges illegal immigrants residing there to leave.
Foreigners with overstayed visas may face detention, fines, imprisonment, deportation, or permanent bans on re-entry, so Myanmar citizens need to exercise caution.
Those who have arrived legally with a visa may continue to undergo security checks later. Those found to have violated immigration laws or misused their visas may face visa revocation, deportation, and serious consequences.
Therefore, Myanmar people there are advised to pay close attention to announcements from authorities and local news. Illegal migrants wishing to voluntarily depart are encouraged to register through the CBP Home App www.dhs.gov/cbphome and to visit https://www.cbp.gov/about/mobile-apps-directory/cbphome for more information, and authorities have urged illegal aliens to voluntarily depart without harming the dignity of their country.
The embassy encouraged Myanmar nationals to comply with the rules and regulations, and if the passport has expired for a long time, they can apply for a certificate of identity in advance, for which they can download the required documents from the embassy’s website and contact via email/phone. — MT/ZN
