Legal News & Updates
- Saudi Arabia
We continue to advise do not travel to Saudi Arabia due to the volatile security situation. You should postpone any planned travel to Saudi Arabia, including travel for religious purposes. If you are in Saudi Arabia and choose to depart, and if it is safe to do so, consider using private car, train and bus options as alternatives to air travel, including to reach aviation hubs in the UAE and Qatar. We advise do not travel to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam or Abha International Airport due to recent security incidents that have disrupted airport operations. The Houthis have threatened to target Saudi airports and airspace. Exercise extreme caution travelling to and from all airports in Saudi Arabia. Air travel is significantly disrupted at all major airports, with regular airspace closures, flight cancellations and delays. If you choose to depart by air despite our advice, do not leave for the airport in Saudi Arabia until you have reconfirmed your flight with your airline or travel provider. Monitor updates from your airline, follow the advice of local authorities and airport staff, and minimise your time at all airports in Saudi Arabia. If you remain in Saudi Arabia, be prepared to shelter in place at short notice and ensure you have sufficient food, water and other essential supplies. If a strike occurs, seek shelter in a substantial building and stay away from windows. Falling debris from intercepted missiles and drones also poses a risk. On 13 October, the Houthis threatened to attack Aramco Headquarters in Dammam and Aramco’s refinery in Riyadh. Exercise extreme caution near all oil and energy infrastructure across the country. Filming or photographing critical infrastructure, military operations, missile launches or drone activity is prohibited and can result in criminal prosecution (see 'Safety'). Online applications for passport renewals are currently open for Australians in Saudi Arabia. There's no need to attend the Embassy as part of the application process. This is a temporary service and is also available for eligible Australians in Oman, Bahrain and Yemen. For more information visit the Australian Embassy in Riyadh's 'Passports' webpage (see 'Travel'). If you need emergency consular assistance, contact the Australian Government's Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (if you're overseas) or 1300 555 135 (in Australia). We now advise: Do not travel overall due to the volatile security situation in Saudi Arabia.
- Vanuatu
The Ministry of Health declared an Influenza A outbreak in Port Vila and Efate Island. Other respiratory viruses may also be circulating. Flu-like illnesses can spread easily from person to person. Practice good hygiene and make sure your vaccinations are up to date (see 'Health'). We advise: Exercise normal safety precautions in Vanuatu.
- Canada
In response to the Ebola outbreak, the Government of Canada has extended temporary border restrictions for travellers who have visited the Democratic Republic of Congo until 27 November (see ‘Travel’). Australian passport holders must apply for an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) before travelling to Canada by air (see 'Travel'). We advise: Exercise normal safety precautions in Canada.
