The security situation in Bangladesh presents significant risks to travelers, including kidnapping, terrorism, civil unrest, and crime. While unrest has decreased since the formation of the Interim Government in 2024, protests continue with potential for violent clashes that can escalate quickly. Terrorist violence remains a risk, and common crimes including muggings and assaults occur in major cities. The Chittagong Hill Tracts region faces particularly severe risks including kidnapping, separatist violence, IED explosions, and active shootings. U.S. government employees face significant travel restrictions outside the diplomatic enclave due to security concerns.
