Essential Travel Advisory USA – What You Need to Know Before Visiting

We’re Canadian. And like most Canadians, we love a good deal, a scenic road trip, and politely grumbling about politics. But let’s get one thing straight—we’re not stepping foot in the United States right now. Not for shopping, not for sunshine, and definitely not for the “land of the free,” where border agents interpret your reasons for traveling like tarot cards.

Travel Advisories for the USA Are on the Rise in 2025

In case you missed it: New Zealand, Australia, The UK, Germany, And yes, even Canada… All have issued updated travel advisories for the United States. The reasons?

• Civil unrest
• Unpredictable border crossings
• Increasing political instability
• Rising incidents of violent crime and mass shootings

And this isn’t alarmism—it’s smart travel planning. Tourism from Canada to the U.S. is down. Conferences are relocating. Creators and public figures are skipping appearances. And honestly? We get it.

Travel Warnings Are Piling Up—And It’s Not Just Canada Sounding the Alarm

We’re not the only ones tapping the brakes on American road trips. Several of Canada’s closest allies are updating their own travel advisories—and let’s just say, it’s not because of high gas prices or long TSA lines.

Here’s what other countries are saying about traveling to the U.S. in 2025:

• United Kingdom: The British government warns its citizens that even minor rule-breaking could lead to arrest or detention, reminding travelers that U.S. authorities enforce entry rules very strictly.
• Germany: Their advisory now states that even with a visa waiver program, entry isn’t guaranteed. This update followed multiple cases of German citizens being refused entry or detained at the U.S. border.
• Denmark: Danish authorities now advise transgender travelers to contact the U.S. Consulate General before travel due to growing concerns over state laws targeting LGBTQ+ individuals.
• Finland: Issued a similar warning following Trump’s executive order limiting gender recognition rights.
• Canada: Our government has also updated its travel advisory USA. Canadians and other foreign nationals visiting for more than 30 days must now register with immigration services.

These aren’t fringe countries. These are G7 partners, NATO allies, and some of America’s strongest supporters. And they’re all warning that traveling to the U.S. in 2025 comes with increased risk.
