Dhaka : The United States of America has lowered its travel alert for Bangladesh from Level 4 to Level 3, urging its citizens to reconsider travel rather than avoiding it entirely.
The easing of the travel alert signals a perceived reduction in immediate threats to US nationals.
Earlier, the alert was raised to four-the highest level-when the US asked its nationals not to travel to Bangladesh amid student protests in July and August.
"Reconsider travel to Bangladesh due to civil unrest, crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk," read the latest travel advisory.
In its country summary, the US said, since the July 2024 "civil unrest, violent clashes" have largely ended, however, conditions may change on short notice.
