Additional Notes:

  • Countries without U.S. Embassies: For countries like Bhutan, Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, Maldives, Nauru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu, the U.S. relies on embassies in neighboring countries for diplomatic coverage.

  • Suspended Operations: In countries like Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, U.S. Embassy operations are suspended due to security or diplomatic issues, and services are provided through embassies in other countries or virtual embassies.

  • Taiwan: The U.S. does not maintain a formal embassy due to diplomatic relations with China but operates through the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), which functions as a de facto embassy.

  • Consular Agencies: These are smaller posts that provide limited consular services and are typically covered by the nearest embassy or consulate general. They may not have dedicated homepages, so the embassy link is provided.

  • Sources: The list is compiled using data from www.usembassy.gov, travel.state.gov, and other diplomatic resources.
