TPS Burma (Myanmar) | Temporary Protected Status

On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government can move forward with ending TPS for Haiti and Syria. The decision does not end TPS or work permits immediately. We are waiting for the lower courts and DHS to confirm the exact end dates. The ruling could also affect TPS court cases for other countries. Follow the National TPS Alliance for updates, and talk to an immigration lawyer about your options.

Changes to TPS Burma (Myanmar)

As of January 26, 2026:
