LGBTQIA+

Legal, conservative climate

  • Many cities issue partnership certificates, but same-sex marriage is not recognised nationally.
  • Society can be conservative: stay discreet with public displays of affection, as everyone is advised to.
  • Trans and non-binary travellers: the gender marker on your passport is what counts at border checks; carry supporting documents if your appearance has changed.
  • If you face discrimination, threats or arrest, contact your embassy right away.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
