Kuwait
Jun 08, 2026
Kuwait Travel Advisory
Kuwait is currently under a "Do Not Travel" advisory due to a deteriorating security situation in the Middle East, with risks of military strikes and armed conflict. A recent drone attack on Kuwait International Airport on June 3, 2026, has heightened these concerns, leading to flight restrictions and warnings of ongoing risks of further strikes. There is also a persistent threat of terrorism, with potential targets including military installations, places of worship, and public areas frequented by foreigners. Additionally, unexploded ordnance from the 1991 Gulf War remains a hazard in desert areas and some beaches.
Syria
Jun 04, 2026
Syria Travel Advisory
Multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to Syria due to extreme security risks including ongoing armed conflict, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, and airstrikes. No part of the country is considered safe from violence. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus has suspended operations, and consular services are unavailable. Regional escalation has also led to the closure of air corridors and suspension of operations at Damascus International Airport.
Saudi Arabia
Jun 04, 2026
Saudi Arabia Travel Advisory
Reconsider travel to Saudi Arabia due to the risk of Iranian drone and missile targeting of American interests, armed conflict, terrorism, exit bans, and local laws regarding social media activity. There is a risk of terrorist violence, including attacks that can occur with little or no warning. Attacks may involve knives, firearms, and vehicles, with potential targets including political, cultural, religious, and tourist locations, as well as places frequented by foreigners. Additionally, armed groups in Yemen have attacked Saudi border towns, posing a risk to those near the border.
South Sudan
Jun 03, 2026
South Sudan Travel Advisory
South Sudan faces a volatile and dangerous security situation characterized by ongoing armed conflict, inter-ethnic violence, and high levels of violent crime, including kidnapping and robbery. Foreign nationals are at significant risk. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency consular services, and travel outside Juba is particularly hazardous due to poor road conditions and unauthorized checkpoints.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Jun 02, 2026
Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Advisory
There is a high risk of crime, unrest, terrorism, kidnapping, and health concerns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Conflict between government forces and armed groups is ongoing, particularly in the eastern regions, leading to instability and potential for increased violence. The country is also experiencing an Ebola outbreak, declared a public health emergency by the WHO, with no approved vaccines or specific antiviral treatments for the Bundibugyo strain. Violent demonstrations and protests can occur with little notice, and roadblocks and curfews may be imposed.
Colombia
May 31, 2026
Colombia Travel Advisory
Reconsider travel to Colombia due to widespread crime, including murder, assault, robbery, and kidnapping. Terrorist groups remain active, and there is a risk of attacks in various regions. Civil unrest and natural disasters also pose risks to travelers. Specific areas, including departments like Arauca, Cauca, Valle del Cauca, and Norte de Santander, as well as regions near the Colombia-Venezuela border, are designated as 'Do Not Travel' zones due to heightened risks of crime and conflict.
