If you're interested in commercial flight opportunities from your location to get back to Australia, register with the Australian High Commission in Nairobi by emailing consular.nairobi@dfat.gov.au. The Burundi international airport in Bujumbura is closed indefinitely except for cargo flights. Visas will only be renewed for people already in Burundi. Tight restrictions are in place at Burundi’s land borders: entry and exit is subject to additional screening and crossing the border may not be possible. Land borders may close without warning. We haven't changed our level of advice: Do not travel to Burundi due to the high levels of violence and the significant threat of terrorist attack.
