Where the governments disagree on Mayotte

Opinion on Mayotte is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Ireland, Poland and Canada take the stricter view, while United Kingdom and Taiwan do not. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.

Every government here has revisited Mayotte within the past year, the oldest review being United Kingdom's in December 2025, so the disagreement is not simply a matter of one source lagging behind.

Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.

Derived from 5 government assessments for Mayotte, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
