Travel advisories to Korean citizens around the world

Since President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law, major countries around the world have warned their citizens living or visiting Korea.

The U.S. State Department maintains its website's travel advisory level to South Korea at level one, but a warning message from the U.S. Embassy in South Korea appears.

The U.S. Embassy posted an 'alert' with a red banner on its English website, saying, "The situation remains fluid after President Yoon Suk Yeol's lifting of martial law. We must avoid protest sites and pay attention to large crowds, gatherings, and near demonstrations," he said.

Among the travel recommendations by country, the British Foreign Ministry wrote on its Korean page, "We are aware of the developments that have unfolded since the declaration of martial law in Korea. Avoid political protests," he posted a warning.

The French Embassy in Korea said on its website and X, "The political situation continues to unfold without violence," and recommended, "Do not approach the National Assembly, where crowds gather, and do not participate in all political protests."

Israel, which is at war, has also issued a travel warning for South Korea.

Israel's foreign ministry informed its citizens in a statement that South Korea should "consider the need to visit this country."

The Ukrainian Embassy in Korea also announced the lifting of martial law on Facebook and other websites, asking its citizens to "follow the embassy's notice, refrain from participating in large-scale events, and follow the recommendations of local authorities."
