LGBTQIA+

Criminalised or dangerous: high risk

• Same-sex relations are a criminal offence here, with prison sentences.
• The law targets relations between men; women are not named but can still face discrimination.
• Avoid any public display of affection, and think twice before posting photos or personal details online.
• Be very careful with dating apps: police and criminals have used them to set traps.
• 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.
