The governments do not agree on Equatorial Guinea. South Korea stands alone at level 3 (reconsider non-essential travel), while the other 9 governments sit lower, from level 1 to level 2. 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.
These assessments are not equally current. Japan's dates from August 2024 — roughly 2.1 years old — so it describes conditions that may have changed several times over since.
The warnings for Equatorial Guinea are not uniform across the country. Three distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Malabo and Bata. At least one government advises against non-essential travel to a specific area while taking a softer line on the country overall.
The level 3 rating from South Korea carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
