Where the governments disagree on Guadeloupe

Opinion on Guadeloupe is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Two of the seven take the stricter view, and the remaining five see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.

Every government here has revisited Guadeloupe within the past year, the oldest review being United Kingdom's in December 2025, so the disagreement is not simply a matter of one source lagging behind.

Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.

Derived from 7 government assessments for Guadeloupe, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
