FCDO Advises Against All Travel to Parts of Chad; Protests Expected in N'Djamena – April 2026
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to northern Chad (Borkou, Ennedi Ouest, Ennedi Est, Tibesti provinces), Kanem Province including Nokou, the Lake Chad region, and within 30km of all other borders. All but essential travel is also advised against for the rest of Chad including the capital N'Djamena. The advisory was updated on 28 April 2026 to include information on planned protests due on 2 May in N'Djamena, where a heightened security presence and travel disruptions are expected. UK government support for British nationals in Chad is severely limited, with no in-person assistance available.

Impact verdict
Medium impact. The broad geographic scope of travel restrictions across Chad, including the capital N'Djamena, combined with active protest risk and severely limited consular support, poses meaningful risk to business operations, personnel, and cargo in the region. The Sahel conflict zone designation elevates war risk and political violence exposure for insurers with Chad-linked interests.
