Chad Travel Advice: Avoid All Travel to Several Regions, Essential Only Elsewhere
The UK FCDO updated travel advice for Chad, advising against all travel to northern provinces (Borkou, Ennedi Ouest, Ennedi Est, Tibesti), western Kanem (including Nokou), the Lake Chad region, and within 30km of all other borders. The rest of Chad, including the capital N'Djamena, is advised against all but essential travel. UK government support is severely limited and evacuation may not be possible.
Impact and considerations
Chad's security situation is severe; business travelers must assess high risks and have independent evacuation plans.
Key points
- Avoid all travel to northern provinces, western Kanem, Lake Chad region, and within 30km of borders.
- Essential travel only to the rest of Chad, including N'Djamena.
- UK government support is severely limited; evacuation may not be possible.
