At Travel Off Path, our most important commitment is to your safety. That's why we created the TOP Travel Advisory Checker—the most trusted, human-curated advisory tool for American travelers. Our dedicated team monitors U.S. State Department changes daily and updates the tool in real-time the moment a new advisory is issued. This isn't an AI-powered feed; it's a tool run by expert humans, for humans, so you can travel with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this travel advisory data come from?

All our advisory data comes directly from the U.S. State Department, which is the sole official source for travel advisories for American citizens. We continuously monitor their updates to ensure our information is accurate.

How often is the information updated?

Our dedicated team monitors U.S. State Department changes daily and updates the tool in real-time the moment a new advisory is issued. This ensures the information you see is the most current and trustworthy available.

Why hasn't my country been updated lately?

We take the most recent update directly from the U.S. State Department. The date shown reflects their latest official review. If it seems old, it simply means the State Department has not issued a new update for that specific destination.

What do the advisory levels mean?

The levels are a simple guide to help you quickly assess risk. Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions. Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution. Level 3: Reconsider Travel. Level 4: Do Not Travel.

Is this the same as entry requirements?

No. This tool is for safety advisories only. Entry requirements—such as whether you need a visa, a specific passport validity, or to fill out a digital arrival card—are separate. You can check those using our TOP Entry Checker tool.

Why should I use this checker?

We built the TOP Travel Advisory Checker to make travel safer and simpler. We cut through the government jargon to give you clear, fast, and easy-to-understand insights so you can make informed decisions and travel with confidence.
