TAGS: CASC PTER ASEC GV
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. 
 
¶6. Minimize considered.
