Guinea Bissau travel insurance
Reconsider your need to travel to Guinea because of the unpredictable security situation following a military coup in December 2008.
If you do decide to travel to Guinea, you should exercise extreme caution. Monitor the media and other local sources of information about possible new safety or security risks.
Avoid demonstrations, street rallies and public gatherings as they may turn violent.
The airport could close without notice and flights may be cancelled or postponed. Australians intending to travel should confirm with their airline the latest situation on flights.
You are advised not to travel to the border regions with Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire because of the unsettled security situation in these areas resulting from problems in neighbouring countries and the risk of banditry and armed rebel activity.
You are advised not to travel to the Guinea Forestiere region around Nzerekore in the south because of the risk of ethnic violence.
