There are 21 Countries on the Do Not Travel List for WA, ID, and UT This Summer

Summer is almost here, and if your plans include travel to another country, you'd better check the new list of ‘Do Not Travel’ locations.

The list has been updated in 2025. Some countries are listed as OK to visit, but sections of the same countries are labeled as ‘Do Not Travel’.

The Latest ‘Do Not Travel’ List for ID, WA, and UT Includes 21 Countries

When 2024 ended, 19 countries were on the US list of locations that are too dangerous for anyone to travel to. Two additions have been made in 2025, and some of these could affect your summer plans.

It’s worth checking your destination on the US Travel Advisory website because some countries are fine to visit, while areas inside those countries are not. Mexico is a good example. Overall, Mexico is listed as ‘Other’ because inside the country, you’ll find nearly all levels of safety and danger.
