We continue to advise do not travel due to the extremely dangerous security situation and the very high threat of terrorism and kidnapping throughout Afghanistan, including in Kabul. If, despite our advice, you travel to Afghanistan, there’s a very high risk you could be the target of a terrorist attack or kidnapping. There are no guarantees for your safety in Afghanistan. Terrorists continue to target foreigners, medical personnel, NGOs and humanitarian operations. Locations including markets, cafes, restaurants, hotels and medical facilities may be targeted. No location in Afghanistan can be considered safe from the threat of attack. Foreign nationals, including Australians, also face a serious threat of arbitrary detention. There are no Australian officials in Afghanistan, and our ability to provide consular and passport assistance is severely limited.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Afghanistan due to the extremely dangerous security situation and the very high threat of terrorism and kidnapping.
