The Foreign Office has changed its travel advice for Kuwait, urging Brits not to travel to the country unless stricly for essential reasons. In an update on March 4, the the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development office (FCDO) added more information about the risk of terrorism in the country.
It also advises all but essential travel to Kuwait and told Brits to register their presence if they're there. The department warned of "significant security risks" from "regional escalation" amid the US-Israeli campaign against Iran. It added: "Stay away from areas around security or military facilities.
