Bahrain
May 22, 2026
Bahrain Travel Advisory
The security situation in the region is volatile due to ongoing armed conflict, resulting in a high risk of drone and missile attacks and significant disruptions to commercial aviation. Both the U.S. and Australian governments advise against all travel to Bahrain, and the UK advises against all but essential travel. There is an ongoing threat of terrorism, and civilian infrastructure, including airports and hotels, may be targeted.
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.
Bolivia
May 21, 2026
Bolivia Travel Advisory
Bolivia is experiencing significant political and social tensions, leading to frequent, unpredictable roadblocks and violent clashes across the country, particularly in the La Paz department. The U.S. government advises against travel to the Chapare Province due to high levels of violent crime associated with narcotrafficking and limited police presence. Demonstrations can occur with little warning, potentially disrupting transportation, essential services, and access to airports. Travelers should be aware that road blockades can lead to shortages of fuel and food and may severely restrict movement.
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.
Qatar
May 20, 2026
Qatar Travel Advisory
Qatar is currently subject to 'Do Not Travel' advisories from multiple nations due to a volatile security situation and ongoing regional military hostilities. There is a persistent risk of drone and missile attacks targeting civilian and critical infrastructure, including airports, energy facilities, and urban areas. Consular services for many foreign nationals are severely limited or suspended, and airspace may be subject to sudden closures, impacting commercial flight availability.
