The situation in Chad remains unstable, and multiple official travel advisories recommend against all travel to the country. This alert applies across Chad and covers an affected radius of approximately 600 km. The advisory was activated on 15 May 2026 and remains in effect.

If you are currently in Chad, you should take this situation seriously. The extreme severity rating reflects significant risks to traveller safety.

Follow all guidance from your embassy or consulate and local authorities. Avoid areas near borders with Libya, Nigeria, Niger, Sudan, and the Central African Republic, where risks are particularly acute.
