High Risk Regions

Search for your destination country in the chart below to determine if travel is allowed or if your trip needs detailed IOC review. The review date indicates the most recent date in which any of the risk elements looked at has had an update. For additional details on risk values considered, pull a Country Risk Report for your destination. To learn more about how the IOC considers high risk regions, check the Behind High Risk Regions page.

Whether a country meets the IOC authorized destination profile, or the IOC approved after detailed review, it does not mean there are no risks involved. It is a best practice to assess your health, security, and financial risks before departure, including being up-to-date in your vaccinations prior to travel outside the U.S.

The information in this page is updated by International Risk and Safety on a regular basis. If you have questions or see the need for an update e-mail IRSO@utdallas.edu.
