In June 2025, the EU proposed amendments to its list of High Risk Third Countries.  These changes take effect from 5 August 2025.

Algeria, Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal and Venezuela have been added to the list.

Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, the Philippines, Senegal, Uganda and the United Arab Emirates have been removed from the list.

Impact
