Official travel advisory
1 Exercise Normal Precautions
The U.S. State Department places Montserrat at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions. Our live index reads 94.1/100. That advisory was last revised Jul 7, 2026, 56 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.
Montserrat is, on the whole, a low-risk destination for visitors. Hurricanes reach the island on a recurring basis. The Soufrière Hills volcano has remained active since 1995, its most recent major episode dating to 2010; five exclusion zones surround it, and entry to the strictest of them, in the island's south, requires a special permit. Local law also treats forgotten ammunition or weapons in the luggage of arrivals from the United States as a serious matter.
