Retaliatory strikes are occurring in the Middle East region following military strikes on Iran. Military conflict in the Middle East region may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice, including instructions to shelter in place during strikes. Read our page on the Middle East conflict.

Terrorism is a threat, including in Azerbaijan. Terrorist attacks could happen at any time or anywhere. Maintain a high level of security awareness. Avoid possible targets including venues that draw in foreigners, tourists or crowds where possible. If there’s a security incident, follow the advice of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).

Land border crossings into a neighbouring country may open and close at short notice. Check with local authorities on entry requirements and border arrangements. Plan for possible delays and make sure you have supplies of food, water and medication (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Azerbaijan overall due to the threat of terrorism.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
