Travel Summary

We advise against all but essential travel to the Chittagong Hill Tracts (this does not include the city of Chittagong). If you propose to visit the Chittagong Hill Tracts you are required to give the Bangladeshi authorities ten days' notice of your travel plans. See Safety and Security - Local Travel - Chittagong Hill Tracts.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has called a nationwide Hartal (enforced general strike) from 06:00 to 18:00 on Thursday 17 May. This is the latest in a series of hartals and demonstrations following the disappearance and apparent abduction of a BNP politician in Dhaka on 18 April. Several of these have resulted in serious street disorder and the loss of life. Demonstrations and protests can quickly turn violent in Bangladesh and can include the burning of buses and other public vehicles, road blocks and confrontation with the police. You should monitor the local media for information. You should avoid protests and demonstrations. See Safety and Security - Local Travel - Civil Unrest/Hartals/Demonstrations.

There is a general threat from terrorism. Attacks cannot be ruled out and could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
