The Indian government has recently eased its travel ban on Libya, lifting restrictions that previously prevented citizens from traveling to the North African country. This decision reflects an improvement in the security situation in some parts of Libya. However, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) continues to advise Indian nationals to avoid non-essential travel to Libya, citing ongoing safety risks due to the political and security instability in certain regions. Travelers are encouraged to stay vigilant, keep updated with local news, and register with the Indian embassy in Tripoli upon arrival. The MEA also recommends that travelers have comprehensive insurance and an emergency plan in place. While the relaxation of the ban opens up opportunities for business and personal visits, caution remains crucial.
