Lebanon Travel Advisory
Multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to Lebanon due to the volatile security situation, ongoing armed conflict, civil unrest, terrorism, and the risk of kidnapping.

Libya
Jun 15, 2026
Libya Travel Advisory
Libya faces a volatile and unpredictable security situation due to ongoing armed conflict between rival groups, political instability, and a high risk of terrorism and kidnapping. Violent crime is prevalent, and arbitrary arrests can occur. Border areas, particularly in the south, are extremely dangerous due to the presence of armed groups and the threat of kidnapping and banditry. Overland travel is strongly discouraged.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Jun 04, 2026
Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Advisory
The Democratic Republic of the Congo DRC is subject to a "Do Not Travel" advisory due to significant risks including crime, civil unrest, terrorism, kidnapping, and health concerns, notably an Ebola outbreak. Armed groups and military forces are frequently in conflict, often targeting civilians. Travel to eastern DRC, particularly the Kivu provinces and Ituri province, is especially dangerous due to ongoing violence, including murder, rape, and kidnapping. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency consular services in many areas.
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.
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.
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.
