Before you book
Check the advisory at the source, not the summary.
Advisories change by the week, so we do not publish a country list that would be stale by the time you read it. Instead, here is where to check official sources and how an advisory actually affects your trip.
Where to check
Three official
sources, in order
Ministry of External Affairs (India)
The MEA and Indian missions abroad publish advisories and registration guidance for Indian nationals. Treat this as your first and primary source.
The destination’s own government
Health ministries and immigration departments post entry rules, and many governments publish their own travel-safety guidance that is worth cross-checking.
The relevant embassy or consulate
For entry requirements, appointment notices and document rules, the mission handling your visa is the authority — not third-party summaries.
What it changes
How an advisory
touches your trip
Visas & entry
An advisory can precede changes to entry rules, visa suspensions or new health requirements. Confirm your visa status against the mission before you travel.
Insurance
Many policies limit or exclude cover for travel against an official advisory. Check your policy wording before booking to a flagged destination.
Bookings
If an advisory changes after you book, airline and hotel change or refund options depend on their fare rules. We help you understand and use them.
