Myanmar Travel Advice

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Travel safety

Do not travel
We've reviewed our advice for Myanmar. We haven't changed the level of our advice, do not travel to Myanmar due to ongoing civil unrest and armed conflict. Violence, including explosions and attacks, can occur anywhere and anytime, including in Yangon. Attacks may be planned against locations that foreigners frequent, including public spaces and civilian infrastructure. Attacks are unpredictable in their location and intensity. Remain aware of the security environment at all times. Minimise movement, especially on anniversaries and days of national significance, and monitor media closely. There've been widespread detentions, including of foreigners. may be at risk of arbitrary detention. Be aware of offers of employment that appear 'too good to be true'. Foreign nationals have been trafficked into Myanmar (either directly into Yangon or via a neighbouring country) and forced to work in fraudulent activity, with poor pay and living conditions, restrictions on movement, and severe mistreatment. (See Safety). We continue to advise: Do not travelย to Myanmar due toย ongoing civil unrest and armed conflict.
