## Official travel advisory

**Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution.** The U.S. State Department places Ivory Coast at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution citing terrorism and crime. Our live index reads 83.1/100. That advisory was last revised Feb 18, 2026, 195 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Côte d'Ivoire faces concerns around violent crime such as carjacking, robbery and home invasion, with local police frequently under-resourced and both official and occasional unofficial roadblocks appearing on the roads. Terrorist groups, chiefly JNIM operating from Burkina Faso and Mali, along with AQIM, have struck the Savanes and Zanzan districts and Comoé National Park, mainly hitting Ivoirian security forces. Demonstrations can turn violent quickly. Medical care outside major cities is thin, with shortages of medicine and loosely regulated pharmacies, while vessels in the Gulf of Guinea face piracy and kidnapping for ransom.
