Where the governments disagree on Saint Helena

The governments do not agree on Saint Helena. United Kingdom stands alone at level 2 (exercise increased caution), while the other 2 governments sit lower, all at level 1. A single outlier usually means one of two things: that government knows something specific about its own citizens' exposure, or its assessment has not caught up with the others.

Every government here has revisited Saint Helena within the past year, the oldest review being Poland's in June 2026, 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 3 government assessments for Saint Helena, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
