Venezuela
Jul 02, 2026
Venezuela Travel Advisory
Venezuela is experiencing a severe security situation, characterized by high levels of violent crime, including homicide, armed robbery, and kidnapping. There is also a risk of terrorism, particularly in border regions and certain states. Political and economic instability contribute to a decline in basic living conditions, with shortages of essential items like medication, gasoline, and water. Recent earthquakes have further damaged infrastructure and disrupted services, including air travel.

Lebanon Travel Advisory
The security situation in Lebanon remains volatile due to armed conflict, civil unrest, terrorism, and regional tensions. There is a significant risk of kidnapping, wrongful detention, and crime. Military activity, including airstrikes and artillery fire, is ongoing, particularly in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley, and could spread to other areas with little warning. Protests and demonstrations can escalate quickly to violence.
Syria
Jun 25, 2026
Syria Travel Advisory
Multiple government advisories recommend against all travel to Syria due to the volatile security situation, ongoing armed conflict, airstrikes, terrorism, criminality, kidnappings, and the risk of unjust detention. Recent events include an explosive device detonated in a cafe in Damascus, killing at least nine people and wounding twenty others. Terrorist groups remain active and pose a significant threat to civilians, with a high threat of kidnapping from terrorist groups throughout the country. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus is suspended, and consular services are extremely limited.

Tunisia Travel Advisory
Terrorist attacks remain a significant risk in Tunisia, with potential targets including tourist locations, transportation hubs, and public gathering places. There are specific high-risk areas, particularly near the borders with Algeria and Libya, and in mountainous regions. Civil unrest, including demonstrations and strikes, can occur and may turn violent, potentially disrupting services and transportation.
Ukraine
Jun 24, 2026
Ukraine Travel Advisory
Travel to Ukraine is strongly advised against due to the ongoing Russian military invasion and active armed conflict. Missile and drone strikes are frequent across the country, targeting both military and civilian infrastructure, including populated areas. The security situation is highly volatile and unpredictable, with a significant risk to personal safety, even in non-frontline regions. Consular services are severely limited, and the ability of foreign governments to assist citizens in leaving the country is restricted.
Myanmar
Jun 23, 2026
Myanmar Travel Advisory
Myanmar is experiencing a dangerous and volatile security situation due to ongoing armed conflict and civil unrest following the 2021 coup. There is a significant risk of politically-motivated violence, terrorist attacks, kidnapping, and arbitrary arrest and detention. The conflict has led to widespread displacement, disrupted access to essential supplies, and unpredictable border crossing closures. Attacks may occur in locations frequented by foreigners, including public spaces and civilian infrastructure.
