US travel warning: Full list of countries advising 'caution' when visiting  America - including the UK, France, Germany and Denmark - in backlash at Trump's 'two gender' decree

European countries are advising citizens holding passports with ‘X’ as their gender designation to exercise caution when traveling to the US in response to Donald Trump’s recent ‘two gender’ policy.

Several US allies are cautioning their transgender and non-binary residents to contact American embassies for guidance before planning any trips to the country if their passport has an ‘X’ gender marker.

It comes after Trump banned ‘X’ gendered U.S. passports and signed an executive order declaring there are only two genders in January.

The announcement by the Republican administration has caused concern among nations that recognize ‘X’ gender passports, leading to worries that individuals with this designation may face entry denials into the US.

Many nations have been forced to update their travel advisory pages in response to the stricter entry rules.

Germany, Finland, the UK, and Canada have all revised their official guidance for citizens traveling to the U.S. –  particularly for those who may be affected by the policy change. 

These countries highlighted risks for transgender and nonbinary travelers, advising caution or in some cases, direct consultation with U.S. embassies before departure.

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office warned British citizens to fully comply with all entry and visa requirements and stressed that any violation -intentional or not – could result in arrest.

Meanwhile the French foreign ministry tells nationals to declare their gender assigned at birth when applying for a U.S. visa or through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), to comply with Trump’s order.

Denmark has gone one step further than France, explicitly warning that transgender people may be barred from entering the United States.

The Danish foreign ministry warns that travelers whose passport gender does not match their assigned sex at birth could be turned away at the border. 

Finland also updated its travel advice.

President Joe Biden ‘s State Department was the first to allow applicants to label their gender as ‘X’, but that was rolled back quickly by Secretary of State Marco Rubio after Trump’s initial order.

The German Federal Foreign Office has notified that residents with the 'X' gender on their travel documents may face issues when coming to America.

‘If the applicant’s current sex on their passport is different from their sex confirmed at birth, the US authorities may refuse entry,’ a federal Finnish travel site warns.

‘The policy of the United States is that an individual’s sex is not changeable,’ the State Department said in a statement at the time.

Trump’s gender executive order also advised the Department of Homeland Security to implement changes for government issued IDs.

The options are either male or female.

Even countries with long-standing military and economic ties to the U.S., like Germany, have been issuing warnings. 

The German Federal Foreign Office has notified that residents with the ‘X’ gender on their travel documents may face issues when coming to America.

Germans traveling to the U.S. must state ‘either ‘male’ or ‘female’ on ESTA or visa applications,’ the travel guidance states.

It also advises those with ‘X’ passports to check their documents with U.S. officials before entering the country.

In U.S. customs enforcement, border officials ultimately have the final say over which travelers get to enter the country — which is noted on the German travel site.
