Official travel advisory
2 Exercise Increased Caution
The U.S. State Department places Turks and Caicos Islands at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution citing crime. Our live index reads 91.2/100. That advisory was last revised Jul 7, 2026, 101 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.
Crime in the territory is concentrated on Providenciales, and investigative capacity within the police force is constrained. Reported offenses range from theft of the opportunistic kind, such as bag grabs and pocket-picking in visitor-heavy areas, to sexual assault; inflated prices, scams, and pushy sellers who present gifts before demanding payment also occur, though tourist police are stationed at most attractions. Weapons and ammunition are banned outright, with no recognition of foreign permits, and airport departure screening has led to detentions lasting weeks and sentences of twelve years or more. Hurricanes strike the islands routinely.
