Restrictions in The Gambia

LGBT Travel

There is a zero tolerance towards LGBT people in The Gambia.

Some foreign nationals have been detained by the police in relation to homosexuality and there has been an increase in inflammatory homophobic rhetoric across the country.

The Criminal Code was amended in October 2014 and homosexual activity can now result in a 14 year prison sentence.

Photography

It is prohibited to take photos of any government facilities (airports, embassies, military facilities, bridges, etc.).

Always ask permission before taking photos, especially in public places. Avoid taking photos of children, security controls, mosques or people praying.
