Iran
May 22, 2026
Iran Travel Advisory
The security situation in Iran is extremely volatile due to regional conflict, civil unrest, and the high risk of arbitrary detention. Foreign nationals, including dual nationals, face a significant risk of arrest, questioning, and wrongful detention, with some individuals held for years on false charges. Infrastructure, including airports and borders, may be subject to sudden closures or disruptions, and the ability of foreign governments to provide consular assistance is extremely limited or non-existent.
Bahrain
May 22, 2026
Bahrain Travel Advisory
The security situation in Bahrain and the broader Middle East is highly volatile due to ongoing regional military conflict. There is a significant risk of attacks, including the use of missiles and drones, which may target civilian infrastructure such as airports, hotels, and government facilities. Airspace and border crossings may close with little or no notice, potentially leaving travellers unable to depart the country.
United Arab Emirates
May 22, 2026
United Arab Emirates Travel Advisory
The United Arab Emirates is currently subject to 'Do not travel' advisories due to a volatile security situation in the region, including the ongoing threat of missile and drone attacks. Regional tensions have led to significant risks for travellers, including potential airspace closures, flight disruptions, and threats against civilian infrastructure, airports, and locations associated with Western, Israeli, or Jewish interests.
Venezuela
May 21, 2026
Venezuela Travel Advisory
While some official sources have recently adjusted the general advisory to Level 3, multiple government advisories continue to warn against all travel due to a highly volatile security environment, including significant risks of violent crime, kidnapping, terrorism, and arbitrary detention. The country faces severe political and economic instability, with ongoing reports of military activity, roadblocks by armed militias, and a critical collapse of healthcare infrastructure. Specific regions, including border areas with Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana, remain extremely dangerous and are subject to 'Do Not Travel' directives.
Lebanon
May 21, 2026
Lebanon Travel Advisory
The security situation in Lebanon is highly volatile and unpredictable due to ongoing armed conflict, regional tensions, and the risk of sudden escalation. Major governments advise against all travel to the country, citing significant risks from terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and the presence of unexploded ordnance. Consular support is severely limited, and the ability of foreign governments to assist citizens in an emergency is constrained by the security environment.
Bolivia
May 21, 2026
Bolivia Travel Advisory
Bolivia faces significant security risks due to ongoing political and social tensions, which frequently result in unpredictable roadblocks, strikes, and demonstrations that can turn violent. The Chapare region is particularly dangerous due to high levels of criminal activity, including drug trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion, leading to advisories against all travel to that area. Furthermore, the UK government advises against all but essential travel to the department of La Paz, including the city of La Paz, due to serious disruption and violence.
