National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.

Brief summary:
Når du rejser til Myanmar, bør du altid være opmærksom på din personlige sikkerhed. De fleste danskere har ingen problemer under besøg i landet. Vi fraråder alle rejser til den centrale og nordlige del af delstaten Rakhine pga. væbnede sammenstød mellem militæret og lokale væbnede grupper. Sammenstød kan også ske i tempelområderne i Mrauk-U. Der er en meget høj sikkerhedsrisiko.  Alle ikke-nødvendige rejser til delstaten Kachin og det nordlige Shan frarådes på grund af risiko for generelle uroligheder og væbnet konflikt. Det samme gælder Paletwa township i den sydlige del af Chin-staten. I disse områder er der ofte voldelige sammenstød mellem væbnede grupper og mellem disse og lokale sikkerhedsmyndigheder og/eller generel uro og spændinger. Du kan risikere at blive fanget i en krydsild, i vejspærringer eller du kan på anden måde blive ufrivilligt inddraget. Du bør have helt særlige grunde til at besøge områderne. Også til den øvrige del af Rakhine, bortset fra turistområdet i Ngapali beach.  Hvis du alligevel vælger at rejse til ovennævnte områder, bør du holde dig opdateret om den aktuelle sikkerhedssituation via de lokale myndigheder, nyhedsmedierne og dit rejsebureau. Du bør altid følge myndighedernes anbefalinger.
