Activists Warn of Potential Visa Impacts After Myanmar Ends State of Emergency

The Taiwan Association for Human Rights says Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency and Ministry of Foreign Affairs have launched an investigation into security in Myanmar after the ruling junta ended its four-year state of emergency. Advocates say this could put Burmese nationals in Taiwan at risk of deportation if they were originally granted visa extensions or residency on a humanitarian basis. If Myanmar is considered safe to return to, some may be unable to obtain visa extensions in Taiwan.
