High-Risk Region

In our travel information, we warn people not to visit certain high-risk regions and areas both because of local conditions and because we are limited in our ability to provide consular services in those places.

We want you to know the danger of traveling to high-risk regions and to strongly consider not going to them at all. Traveling to high-risk regions puts your life, and possibly the lives of others, in jeopardy. Traveling to high-risk regions puts you at increased risk for kidnapping, hostage-taking, theft, and serious injury.

What the Embassy Can and Cannot Do in High-Risk Regions

You are subject to the laws and the legal system of the region you are visiting.

In many high-risk regions, we cannot help you. This may be because of a lack of a functioning government, the ineffectiveness or policies of local authorities, armed conflict, or poor governance.

In many countries where Galar does not maintain diplomatic or consular relations, the Galarian government has no means to provide consular services to Galarian citizens. In the limited number of regions where Galar has an official Protecting Power arrangement with another country, very limited assistance may be available.

In a crisis in a high risk region, we may have to rely on local resources to resolve matters. See what we can and cannot do here during a crisis: Please refer to our webpage on What the Galarian Embassy Can and Can't Do in a Crisis.
