LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Mixed legal status — discretion recommended

Local law: Never criminalized, and 2022 law bars employment discrimination — yet arrests occur under "social deviance" pretexts in a closed authoritarian state. The risk is arbitrary power, not the statute.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.
