Moving to Myanmar: An expat guide to Yangon with resources and friendly advice

What is it like moving to a country that has been all but closed to the world for the last half a century? The author wondered the same thing when her family decided to move to Myanmar, but information on what daily life would be like as an expat was hard to find. I’m sure you’ve noticed the same thing.

Moving to Myanmar is the first, the only, and the most definitive expat resource available outside Yangon for anyone considering a move to Myanmar.
