    When planning a holiday, it’s wise to check these three things before you leave for the airport: your passport is in date, travel insurance is still valid and you’re travelling to someplace safe according to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

    Political conflicts, natural disasters and safety concerns are among the reasons the UK Foreign Office will recommend British nationals steer clear of certain destinations.

    The FCDO has issued various travel warnings, including advice against “all travel” and “all but essential travel” to entire countries or parts of countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.

    Of 226 countries or territories with foreign travel advice pages, 73 are currently flagged as having no-go zones due to security issues, health risks and legal differences with the UK.

    If you choose to make the journey against FCDO advice, travel insurance will be invalidated, and there may be a lack of consular support in the event of an emergency overseas.

    Here is the full list of countries on the Foreign Office’s ‘do not travel’ list to check before you plan a trip.
