Countries that have issued recent travel advisories for travel to the US include: Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Venezuela and China.

Reasons for travel advisories: Detention: Non-US Citizens have been handcuffed and put in detention centers over documentation that is considered inadequate. Searching Phones: US Citizens born in foreign countries have had their phones searched in an effort to find information on friends and relatives. Also, there are an alarming number of cases where entry is denied based on phone searches that find comments critical of Trump and his administration. LGBTQ: Transgender travellers have experienced increased scrutiny and have been denied entry for passports from countries that don’t clearly identify gender as male or female.

In the current political climate, it’s a good idea to avoid all travel to the US. There are lots of friendly countries to visit instead. If You Are Entering the US, see advice on our USA web page.
