South Korea
Political tensions
Relations between South and North Korea can be tense. North Korea has conducted several nuclear tests (the most recent in 2017) and regular ballistic missile tests, leading to further tensions. Future tests cannot be ruled out. In the past, heightened tensions haven’t affected daily life.
Singapore
Terrorism
Terrorism is a threat in Singapore. The Singaporean Government has put in place enhanced security measures to combat terrorism, including strong border controls and police surveillance. New Zealanders in Singapore should monitor any developments that may affect their safety, remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings and follow any instructions issued by the local authorities.
Belgium
Terrorism
Following a terrorist attack in October 2023, the terror threat level for Belgium (set by Belgian authorities), including Brussels, is now level 3 of 4, meaning there’s a possible and imminent threat. You should expect an increased security presence at this time. New Zealanders throughout Belgium are advised to follow the advice of local authorities at all times.
