WorldRisk

Which passport do you hold?

Risk to a traveller depends on their nationality. A country that sanctions your destination, or is sanctioned by it, changes how you are treated on arrival. Choosing here adjusts every score on the site.

We hold travel advice written for four nationalities so far. Selecting anything else shows the neutral baseline, and every page says so where it applies rather than presenting it as an assessment made for you.

Kept in your browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere, and you can change it at any time from the header.

Cyber risk to travellers, by country

Governments publish travel advice about physical safety. This covers the other half: device searches at borders, surveillance, whether a VPN is lawful, and what happens to data you carry in. Scores are computed from public sources by a published model, not chosen by hand.

237 countries assessed, 13 with no source coverage at all. 36 rest on evidence thin enough that we mark them low confidence. Higher numbers mean more risk.

How the score maps to the traffic light
Extreme75 to 100
Severe and systematic. Device search, interception and detention over online activity are documented rather than theoretical. Reconsider what you carry and what you say.
High50 to 74
Substantial and consistently evidenced measures. Device inspection, monitored networks or restricted services should be expected rather than treated as unlikely.
Caution25 to 49
Some risk, and manageable with precautions. Measures are evidenced but are narrow, inconsistently applied, or the picture is mixed.
Low0 to 24
Ordinary precautions. No systematic device search, network restriction or prosecution of visitors for online speech is evidenced.

Showing the neutral baseline, which weights every issuer equally. Set a passport in the header to see how it changes.

233 countries and territories drawn. Grey means no source covers it, or too little does to band. Not shown separately, because the geometry folds them into the state that administers them: French Guiana, Mayotte, Montserrat, Reunion. Outlines from Natural Earth, public domain, on an equal-area projection so no country occupies more of the map than its share of the world's surface.
