Eritrea - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
The U.S. Department of State issued a travel advisory for Eritrea at Level 2, recommending increased caution due to travel restrictions, limited consular assistance, landmines, and wrongful detentions. The advisory notes the U.S. government's limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Eritrea and warns of the risk of wrongful detention. Recommended measures include exercising caution in remote areas, carrying copies of passport and visa, enrolling in STEP, following social media, reviewing the Country Security Report, preparing a contingency plan, and checking CDC travel health information.
