Travel Alert IssuedNov 8

Problem: Saudi Arabia has enforced a 21-day entry ban and visa suspension for travelers who have been in Kenya.

Why it matters: The ban follows Bundibugyo Ebola cases, and travelers connecting through or heading to Saudi Arabia can be denied boarding or entry.

Advice: If your trip touches Saudi Arabia, confirm entry rules with your airline and the Saudi embassy before you fly, and rebook if needed.
