We’ve reviewed our advice for Chad and continue to advise do not travel due to the dangerous security situation and the threat of terrorism, kidnapping and violent crime. Other levels apply in some areas. Legislative, provincial and municipal elections will be held on 29 December. Political demonstrations and rallies are expected. Avoid crowds, demonstrations and protests. Follow the advice of local authorities.

The border with Sudan remains closed to travellers until further notice. Chad is extremely dangerous due to the risk of terrorism, kidnapping, civil unrest and violent crime. If, despite our advice, you travel to Chad, seek professional security advice. Our ability to provide consular services in Chad is extremely limited. For consular assistance, contact the Australian Embassy in Paris (see ‘Local contacts’).

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Chad overall due to the dangerous security situation and the threat of terrorism, kidnapping and violent crime.

Other levels apply in some areas.
