Common questions

- As of Oct 21, 05:10 UTC, the US State Department rates 24 countries Level 4: Do not travel (Afghanistan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Burma, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gaza, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Niger, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Ukraine, Yemen).

- What does Level 4: Do not travel mean?
- It is the US State Department's highest advisory level. It tells US citizens not to travel to that country, usually because of risks such as armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping or wrongful detention. Canada's equivalent is "Avoid all travel" and the UK's is "advises against all travel". Some warnings apply only to parts of a country, so read the official advisory.
- How often do these lists change?
- Governments update advisories when conditions change. Voyaggora re-reads the official advisory feeds every few minutes, rebuilds this page every 2 minutes and records every level change it sees. Since October 9, 2026 it has recorded 11 changes in the last 30 days.
- Is a country that is not on these lists safe?
- Not necessarily. A country can have a lower level (Level 2 or 3), warnings for only some regions, or health, weather or hazard notices. Open the country page on Travel Live for the full picture and the official links.
