SUBJECT: TRAVEL WARNING: GUINEA
1. The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against
travel to Guinea due to continuing civil unrest and the
unpredictable nature of the current security situation.
U.S. citizens are advised that the Department of State
has ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel and
eligible family members of the U.S. Embassy in Conakry,
Guinea.
2. The U.S. Embassy in Guinea will be open for emergency
American Citizens Services only. Citizens should be
aware that depending on the security situation, the
Embassy may be forced to suspend operations without
advance notice. The international airport in Conakry is
currently operating normally, however, flights may be
suspended if the current security situation worsens.
Land borders are also open at this time, but may close
without warning. U.S. citizens who remain in Guinea
despite this Travel Warning are urged to stay in their
homes until the security situation returns to normal, to
closely monitor media reports, and to follow all official
instructions. U.S. citizens who must leave their homes
for any reason are urged to exercise extreme caution, be
particularly alert to their surroundings, and to avoid
crowds, demonstrations, or any other form of public
gathering. Visitors to Guinea should be familiar with
their hotel evacuation plans, policies, or procedures.
3. U.S. citizens in Guinea should carry their travel
documents (i.e., passport, birth certificate, picture
ID?s, etc.) with them at all times. Additionally, U.S.
citizens in the area are reminded to stay in contact with
friends and family in the United States to keep them
apprised of their current welfare and whereabouts.
4. All U.S. citizens traveling in or remaining in Guinea
despite this Travel Warning are urged to register with
the Department of State through the State Department's
travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/ . By
registering, American citizens make it easier for the
Department of State or the Embassy to contact them in
case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located on the
Transversale No. 2, Centre Administratif de Koloma
opposite the New Radio Station in Ratoma, Conakry,
Guinea. You can call the Embassy switchboard at 65-10-
4000, or reach the consular section directly by calling
67-10-4444. For after-hours emergencies, please call 67-
10-4311.
5. Updated information on travel and security in Guinea
may be obtained from the Department of State by calling
1-888-407-4747 toll-free within the United States and
Canada or, for callers outside of the United States and
Canada, on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. For
further information, please consult the Country Specific
Information for Guinea and the Worldwide Caution, which
are available on the Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet
website at http://travel.state.gov.
