Tourists are now being targeted by the Foreign Office as well.

As the summer travel season continues, it's essential for tourists to stay informed about the latest travel and safety advisories for popular destinations. Here's a summary of the current warnings for five countries that are popular among German tourists: Serbia, Chile, Georgia, Singapore, and Peru.

Serbia

German advisories reflect increased caution for Serbia due to crime concerns. The country is listed at Level 2 ("Exercise increased caution")[1]. Additionally, Serbia advised its citizens not to travel to neighboring Croatia from August 1 to 10, 2025, mainly due to political reasons rather than actual security risks[3][5].

Chile

While not under a general travel advisory level from Germany, Chile has specific warnings related to minefields in Patagonia near the borders with Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Travelers are advised to stay on marked roads and trails, hire experienced guides for outdoor activities, register with local officials when trekking, and consider medical evacuation insurance due to the remoteness of some areas. There is also a tsunami warning affecting Rapa Nui and coastal Chile as of July 2025[2].

Georgia

No direct travel warnings from German or U.S. sources were found in the current search results, so it can be inferred there is no specific elevated advisory for Georgia (likely Level 1 or no concern). However, this should be confirmed with authoritative local or German government sources.

Singapore

Considered very safe with a Level 1 advisory ("Exercise normal precautions") for travelers as of March 2025, indicating minimal risk[1][4].

Peru

No specific German warnings were found in the current search results. However, given the mention of minefields along Chile's border with Peru, caution is advised when traveling near borders in Patagonia[2]. For up-to-date German advisories on Peru, official sources should be consulted.

In summary, among these countries, Serbia has a moderate caution level mostly due to crime, Chile has geographic and safety specific warnings especially for outdoor activities and border areas, Singapore is very safe, and there are no explicit warnings for Georgia and Peru based on the provided data but some contextual caution near the Chile-Peru border is advised. Travelers should consult the latest official advisories shortly before travel for possible updates.

Additional Information

  • German tourists do not have to undergo mandatory vaccinations before traveling to Singapore.
  • Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is reportedly taking a hard line against government critics and has sent masked thugs against demonstrators.
  • The travel and safety warnings for Chile were updated on Monday.
  • Travelers to Singapore should familiarize themselves with the legal peculiarities of entry and vaccination protection before departure, as there were last updates on the website of the Federal Foreign Office on Tuesday.
