LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Legal but civil society space is closing — discretion advised

Local law: Decriminalised 1997; no anti-discrimination protections; NGO crackdown intensifying since 2020. Public LGBTQ+ organising restricted.

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.
