Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Sweden as a destination for visitors from Myanmar?
Sweden is an appealing destination for some visitors from Myanmar, particularly those interested in its scenic landscapes and vibrant cities. The country offers a strong tourism infrastructure and attracts a select group of international tourists, emphasizing quality experiences over large numbers. This makes it a niche destination that may resonate with a portion of Myanmar's 54 million Bamar population.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Sweden for tourists coming from Myanmar?
Sweden is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Myanmar. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden ranks 39th out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to Myanmar, which ranks 145th. In terms of crime statistics, Sweden has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Myanmar's rate of 28.4. Additionally, Sweden scores better on various organized crime indices, with lower ratings for mafia groups, crime networks, and human trafficking, among others. While Sweden is ranked 36th out of 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, it remains a safer option overall compared to Myanmar. Tourists from Myanmar can feel relatively secure while visiting Sweden.
