Myanmar/Burma: Regional Advisories from Ottawa

Regional Advisory for Rakhine State

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to Rakhine State, except for the tourist resort of Ngapali and travel to/from the resort via Thandwe airport, due to the risk of serious civil unrest. The security situation can deteriorate suddenly and unexpectedly. Be vigilant and follow the advice of local authorities.

Regional Advisory for areas along the borders with Thailand, China and Laos

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against all travel to areas along the borders with Thailand, China and Laos due to clashes between the military and armed groups, ethnic conflict, banditry and unmarked landmines. Sporadic fighting between military forces and non-state armed groups is occurring in Kachin and Shan states. Tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced internally and to neighbouring countries.
