Provider checklist — Myanmar
Last updated:
Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.
- Why is this trip happening at all given the current Do-Not-Travel advisory? Most home governments advise against it.
- What's the home-government travel advisory for the specific area, and how does the provider respond to escalation?
- What's the insurance position given the country's travel-advisory status (most policies exclude Do-Not-Travel destinations)?
- If considering displaced-population work: are you partnered with UNHCR or an equivalent established organisation, and is the work in fact happening across the border in Thailand or Bangladesh rather than in Myanmar itself?
