Original Date Announced
November 25, 2025DHS Secretary Noem terminates the designation of Burma (Myanmar) for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was set to expire on November 25, 2025. Secretary Noem determined that there are no longer "conditions [that] hinder the safe return of aliens who are nationals of Burma to the country" and that it is "contrary to the national interest to permit Burmese nationals (or nationals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Burma) to remain temporarily in the United States." In particular, the notice cites Proclamation 10949, explaining that "an extension of Burma's designation for Temporary Protected Status would be in conflict with the President's directive of fully restricting the entry of Burmese nationals, and would be contrary to the national interest as the Secretary of State identified Burma as a country deficient in screening and vetting as well as a country that has taken advantage of the United States in the exploitation of our visa system."
The TPS designation for Burma terminates on January 26, 2026.
