Myanmar’s government said that between October 2023 and November 2025 it repatriated 68,009 foreign nationals who had entered illegally, as part of efforts to strengthen border security and combat transnational crime.

Myanmar’s government said in a recent announcement that 68,009 foreign nationals who had entered the country illegally through neighbouring countries were repatriated under the law between October 2023 and November 2025. It described the measure as part of efforts to strengthen border security and combat transnational crime.
The government said its operations focused on people involved in online fraud and gambling in collusion with foreign criminal groups. Prime Minister U Nyo Saw said the authorities were working to dismantle fraud and gambling groups entering through border routes to maintain public order and security in border areas.
Buildings used for online gambling inside the KK compound in Myawaddy had been demolished, according to the report. Enforcement operations were continuing against cross-border illegal activities.
