WarningIt is advised against all travel to the 18 Montagnes and Moyen Cavally regions of western Ivory Coast due to the unstable security situation there. Visitors are advised against all but essential travel to the rest of the country.
The potential for unrest and the sudden deterioration of law and order remains. Events can move fast and violence can erupt at short notice.
Anyone determined to go should therefore review their personal security arrangements carefully and seek professional security advice on their adequacy. Visitors should also register with their high commission or similar representative in Accra or a local warden network in Abidjan.
The threat from terrorism in the Ivory Coast is low.
