This page offers important information on potential risks in destinations and their associated risk categories for University Travel, aligning with the definitions and travel requirements in the GS&S Travel Policy.

GS&S reviews these risk categorizations on a monthly basis, with major developments prompting an ad hoc review. GS&S maintains a current list of Category X destinations which also communicates risk category changes from the previous month.

Some destinations may have more than one risk category (M for Mixed), depending on the region or city. Be sure to expand a destination's entry for complete details.

Did you know GS&S offers tailored risk consultations for University Travel? If you need further guidance or have specific concerns, whether related to your destination, identity, or planned activities, please reach out to us at globalsafety@princeton.edu.

Lebanon (BEIRUT ONLY) has been recategorized to a CAT C destination.

At this time, all other areas of Lebanon remain CAT X. GS&S will continue to monitor the integrity of the ceasefire and feasibility of travel, including the continuity of international air traffic, and will further assess Lebanon (all other areas) at the end of the month of December.
