Iaktta särskild försiktighet - Den politiska situationen och säkerhetsläget kan förändras snabbt. Det finns en risk för nya terrordåd. Kontakta Danmarks ambassad i Dhaka i krissituationer. Undvik resor till området Chittagong Hill Tracts. I området förekommer sammandrabbningar mellan konkurrerande stammar, nya invånare och armén.

National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.

Brief summary:
Når du rejser til Bangladesh bør du til enhver tid være opmærksom på din personlige sikkerhed og udvise stor forsigtighed pga. risikoen for terror og en ustabil sikkerhedssituation. Vi fraråder alle ikke-nødvendige rejser til Chittagong Hill Tracts (distrikterne Rangamati, Khagrachari og Bandarban) pga. risikoen for voldelige sammenstød mellem lokale befolkningsgrupper og kidnapning. Risiciene er så alvorlige, at du bør have helt særlige grunde til at besøge områderne. Chittagong Division er dog ikke omfattet. De fleste danskere har ingen problemer under besøg i Bangladesh.

Danger level: 3

Be extra cautious..
