Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before you fly | You need an eVisa to enter Myanmar. Apply at the official Myanmar eVisa portal (evisa.moip.gov.mm) at least 3 business days before departure.

| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity beyond your stay | Your Mexican passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Myanmar. Immigration at Yangon International Airport checks this strictly. If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before booking flights. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Airlines may also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Myanmar. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A simple booking confirmation works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you have enough funds for your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but it's safer to have proof of at least $300–$500 for a short trip. Cash in USD is widely accepted in Myanmar. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Myanmar. If it's close to expiring, renew it before applying for the eVisa — otherwise your application may be rejected.
Keep digital copies handy
Save your eVisa approval, return ticket, and hotel booking as screenshots on your phone. Internet can be patchy at immigration counters, and having offline copies speeds things up.
