UK holidaymakers have been issued a stern warning by the Foreign Office, advising against travel to 24 countries. The ‘no travel’ advisory includes some predictable entries as well as a few unexpected ones.

The Foreign Office acts as a one-stop-shop for Brits looking for travel information on other countries, including warnings, entry requirements and safety and security tips.

But it is also a government domain not to be ignored, as people who defy the advice could find themselves in dangerous situations – with limited help.

In its advisory for Afghanistan, the UK Foreign Office warns that “the security situation is volatile” and travel through the country is extremely dangerous. British nationals are also at a “heightened risk of being detained” in Afghanistan.

The Foreign Office further advises against all travel to Russia due to its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, describing the situation there as “unpredictable”. It’s crucial to check Foreign Office travel warnings before travelling abroad, reports the Mirror.
