Drone laws by country
Can you fly a drone where you are heading? These guides cover 33 countries: registration, height limits, no-fly zones, and the headline question of whether a visitor can legally fly at all. Every country carries a clear status so you can see at a glance where flying is open, restricted, or not permitted.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Drone rules change frequently and vary by location. Always confirm the current rules with the national aviation authority (linked below) before you fly. Last reviewed: July 2026.
A note on Europe
Most of Europe uses the common EASA framework: register once as an operator in any one EU/EASA country (valid across all of them), 120 m height limit, keep the drone in sight, A1/A2/A3 subcategories, and Direct Remote ID on newer class-marked drones since 1 January 2024. The differences are national: registration portals, fees, minimum ages, extra no-fly zones, and penalties. The country entries capture those national specifics.
