What should LGBT travellers consider?
LGBT travellers must check current official guidance on legal and personal risks for their destinations; local laws and social attitudes vary, and insurance does not shield you from legal consequences.
LGBT travellers should check up‑to‑date official guidance on legal and personal risks for their specific destinations before deciding to travel. Laws and social attitudes vary across regions, so do not assume experiences from other countries apply in Russia; review entry rules, public conduct restrictions and any local advisories. Insurance policies do not automatically protect against legal consequences or risks related to personal status; consider contacting your embassy, researching local support networks and confirming what assistance your insurer can provide.
