Where the governments disagree on Kiribati

Opinion on Kiribati is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Two of the nine take the stricter view, and the remaining seven 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.

Currency varies between sources. United States' is the oldest assessment of Kiribati on file, last revised in December 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.

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 9 government assessments for Kiribati, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
