Somalia

There’s an ongoing high threat of terrorism, with attacks expected to continue. Don't travel to Somalia. If you're in the country, leave as soon as possible. If you decide to stay, get professional security advice. The electoral process has begun in the lead up to the Presidential election on 10 October 2021. A spike in violence is likely to correspond, including possible attempts to disrupt the elections.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Somalia due to:

• the high risk of terrorist attack, kidnapping, armed conflict and violent crime
• the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel.
