The US State Department has issued a Do Not Travel Advisory for Afghanistan. Travel to all areas of Afghanistan is unsafe because of critical levels of kidnappings, hostage taking, suicide bombings, widespread military combat operations, landmines, and terrorist and insurgent attacks, including attacks using vehicle-borne, magnetic, or other improvised explosive devices (IEDs), suicide vests, and grenades. In order for travel insurance coverage to be available, a policy must have been purchased on or before August 14, 2021. Since this event is no longer unforeseen, policies issued on or after August 14, 2021 will not cover this event.
