American Citizen Updates

 All US citizens travelling or residing in Gabon or São Tomé & Príncipe are encouraged to sign up to receive updates from the Embassy. This allows the Embassy to know more accurately the number and location of U.S. citizens in country should an emergency arise.  There is no fee for this service.  American citizens may register online through the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program or in person at the Embassy.

Travel Warnings & Travel Alerts

Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department recommends that Americans avoid a certain country.  The State Department issues Travel Alerts to disseminate information quickly about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term conditions that pose significant risks or disruptions to Americans. The State Department recommends that travelers check the Travel Warnings webpage for the most recent country information.

Country Information
