The beginning of 2026 has seen significant upheaval in global politics. Civil wars, border disputes, and terrorist activities in many parts of the world have made international travel risky.

Therefore, if you are planning to travel abroad this year, you should avoid visiting certain countries for safety reasons. Let's find out the names of these countries.

Extremely Dangerous Regions
These countries are currently experiencing ongoing military conflicts, where there is no guarantee of normal life or safety.

Afghanistan - Under Taliban rule, civil liberties are severely restricted. The threat of terrorism and sudden attacks remains constant. The risk of kidnapping and arrest is very high for foreign nationals.

Sudan - A fierce civil war is raging between the army and paramilitary forces. Infrastructure is destroyed, and security is virtually non-existent.

Yemen - Years of conflict and a humanitarian crisis have made it one of the most unsafe places in the world. Air travel is also unsafe due to Houthi rebel activity and regional tensions.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Violence and clashes with security forces in some parts of the country have made it extremely risky. The risk of kidnapping is also quite high.

Political Instability
Venezuela - Political tensions are at their peak here in 2026. Due to US intervention and internal instability, incidents of wrongful detention, kidnapping, and violent crime against foreign nationals have increased. The Indian government has also advised against non-essential travel to this country.

Haiti - Gang violence controls much of the country. Law and order have completely broken down in most areas, including the capital, Port-au-Prince.

Myanmar and Pakistan - Myanmar has been experiencing civil war-like conditions since the military coup. In Pakistan, political instability and increasing terrorist activities in border regions have resulted in a high level of security risk.

Russia and Belarus - Due to the ongoing war with Ukraine, international sanctions and strict local laws are in effect. Foreign tourists remain at risk of arbitrary detention or being falsely accused of espionage.

Regional Conflicts
The situation in Iran and Lebanon is volatile due to escalating regional tensions with Israel and internal protests. In recent weeks, several countries have advised their citizens to leave these countries immediately.
