The U.S. Department of State maintains a Level 4 advisory for Afghanistan due to civil unrest, crime, terrorism, wrongful detention, kidnapping, natural disasters, and limited health facilities, urging U.S. citizens to leave immediately. The U.S. Embassy in Kabul suspended operations in 2021 and cannot provide consular services.
The UK FCDO updated its travel advice for Afghanistan, continuing to advise against all travel. The security situation is volatile, and tensions with Pakistan have led to violent clashes in border areas. Travel is extremely dangerous, and several border crossings are closed. There is a heightened risk of British nationals being detained, and FCDO's ability to assist is severely limited, with no in-person consular support.
