Myanmar: security info

Last verified: June 2026

Is it safe to travel to Myanmar?

To know before booking: since the 2021 events, several regions of Myanmar have unrest, and many governments maintain elevated travel advisories (some at the highest level). The tourist e-Visa is still issued and the country remains accessible, but this is travel-safety information — check your government's official travel advisory, avoid conflict areas, and take suitable insurance. For the visa, see the Tourism tab.
