Temporary Protected Status for Burma (Myanmar)

Umerekebishwa Januari 26, 2026
Temporary Protected Status for Burma (Myanmar) has been restored by a federal court ruling. Your TPS and work permit remain valid, but this could change after future court hearings.

Changes to TPS Burma (Myanmar)

As of January 26, 2026:

  • People from Burma (Myanmar) with TPS still have this protection.
  • Work permits through TPS are still valid.

The decision to end TPS for Burma (Myanmar) is being challenged in court. This case is not finished yet. We do not know what will happen next.

Work permits

If your TPS work permit (EAD) was set to expire on November 25, 2025, it is now automatically extended until the court makes a final decision. You can keep using it as proof that you are allowed to work until that date.

What happens when TPS expires?

If you do not have another legal immigration status besides TPS, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained and deported.
