As of mid-October 2025, the United States does not have any elevated travel advisories for international visitors. The advisory level remains at normal precautions, similar to those you would take at home. Listeners planning to travel to the U.S. should be aware of everyday safety measures such as securing personal belongings, practicing situational awareness, and staying informed about local weather and emergency information. Although there are no current warnings, crime and accidents can still occur, particularly in large cities or tourist areas. The U.S. Department of State recommends enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive timely updates and alerts.

The U.S. regularly updates its travel advisories and has systems in place for rapid notification should threats or emergencies arise affecting international visitors. Travel to the United States is open with airports, highways, and tourist attractions operating normally. Routine safety habits are strongly encouraged, such as keeping emergency contact details updated and following local authority instructions.

Globally, the U.S. State Department issues travel advisories for every country, dividing them into four risk levels: Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions), Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution), Level 3 (Reconsider Travel), and Level 4 (Do Not Travel). As of recent updates, 21 countries have a "Do Not Travel" warning, while many popular destinations are under Level 2 or Level 1 advisories. Listeners should check for updates close to departure and during their stay using official government resources.

In recent months, there have been no extraordinary disease outbreaks or major security issues affecting international tourists in the United States. However, listeners should remain vigilant and check local guidelines for any residual COVID-19 measures in certain regions or airports. The U.S. Department of State continues to prioritize the safety of U.S. citizens and provides resources for international travelers to stay informed and secure.
