Avoid large groups of people, demonstrations, and protests, as they can turn violent quickly. Authorities may suspend internet and mobile phone networks and close roads and highways at short notice. Transit to and from Islamabad International Airport may be impeded by protest activity. Monitor media for information on the latest developments and follow the instructions of local authorities. (See 'Safety'). Terrorist groups hostile to foreign interests operate in Pakistan. The threat of attack remains very high. Reporting continues to identify the potential for attacks in Islamabad, including at major hotels. In response, heightened security arrangements are in place, including an increased security force presence, additional checkpoints and temporary road closures. Terrorists may also target places frequented by foreigners, transport infrastructure, including trains and airports, and places of worship. We advise: Reconsider your need to travel to Pakistan overall due to the volatile security situation and threat of terrorism, kidnapping, violent crime and the risk of civil unrest. Higher levels apply in some areas.

National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.

Brief summary:
Reissued with updates to health information. Reconsider travel to Pakistan due to terrorism. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory. Do not travel to:  Balochistan province and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, including the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), due to terrorism and kidnapping. The immediate vicinity of the India-Pakistan border and the Line of Control due to terrorism and the potential for armed conflict. Country Summary: Terrorist groups continue to plot attacks in Pakistan. Terrorism and ongoing violence by extremist elements have led to indiscriminate attacks on civilian, as well as local military and police, targets. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, military installations, airports, universities, tourist locations, schools, hospitals, places of worship, and government facilities. Terrorists have targeted U.S. diplomats and diplomatic facilities in the past. Terrorist attacks continue across Pakistan, with most occurring in Balochistan and KP, including the former FATA. Large-scale terrorist attacks have resulted in numerous casualties. Pakistan’s security environment remains fluid sometimes changing with little or no notice. There are greater security resources and infrastructure in the major cities, particularly Islamabad, and security forces in these areas may be more readily able to respond to an emergency compared to other areas of the country. While threats still exist, terrorist attacks occur less frequently in major urban areas than other parts of Pakistan. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Pakistan due to the security environment. Travel by U.S. government personnel within Pakistan is restricted, and additional restrictions on movements by U.S. government personnel outside of U.S. diplomatic facilities may occur at any time, depending on local circumstances and security conditions, which can change suddenly. The U.S. Consulate General in Peshawar is unable to provide any consular services to U.S. citizens. Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Pakistan.

National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.

Brief summary:
Undvik icke nödvändiga resor - Säkerhetsläget varierar mycket i olika delar av landet och kan förändras snabbt. Mellan Pakistans regering och Taliban i Pakistan pågår en långvarig väpnad konflikt (Tehrik-i Taliban Pakistan, TTP) som påverkar särskilt provinserna Khyber Pakhtunkhwa och Baluchistan. Taliban har utfört terrordåd mot Pakistans polis också på andra håll i Pakistan. Landet har ökat säkerhetsåtgärderna, och läget är lugnt. Följ regelbundet myndigheternas information och de lokala nyheterna. Alltsedan 2014 har Pakistan målmedvetet ökat och effektiviserat sina åtgärder mot terrorism, och som en följd av det har säkerhetsläget i landet förbättrats. Det finns trots allt fortfarande en risk för terrorattacker. Säkerhetsläget i landets huvudstad Islamabad är förhållandevis stabilt. I synnerhet i de stora städerna är det ofta politiska demonstrationer, som hänför sig till det inrikespolitiska spända läget mellan regeringen och oppositionen och enskilda frågor. Ibland kan demonstrationerna bli våldsamma, och därför är det skäl att undvika dem. De fall där man i andra länder i Europa har bränt Koranen har lett till demonstrationer och hot i Pakistan mot dessa länder. I synnerhet i provinserna Khyber Pakhtunkhwa och Baluchistan vid gränsen mot Afghanistan och Iran har det varit oroligt under de senaste åren, och terrordåd har utförts med jämna mellanrum. Attackerna har främst riktats mot säkerhetsmyndigheterna. Undvik alla resor till dessa provinser. Talibanrörelsens makttillträde i Afghanistan avspeglas också i Pakistan, där landets egen talibanrörelse (TTP) har sagt upp eldupphöret med regeringen och gjort flera attacker mot de pakistanska trupperna. Relationerna mellan Pakistan och Indien är inflammerade på grund av den gamla tvisten om Kashmir. Ingetdera landet godkänner den nuvarande delningen av Kashmirområdet, utan gör anspråk på området.
