Drone laws by country
The assistant gives cited answers for 37 countries from official regulatory sources, together with the framework each one inherits from. Coverage varies by country, topic and type of operation: where no validated rule is available, the answer says so. Nothing here is a readiness rating or permission to fly.
Automated regulatory monitoring status
Regional framework
EU-wide rules apply across every EASA member state. National pages below add their own overlay on top of this framework rather than replacing it.
EU / EASA member states (23)
These pages combine the EU framework with the national overlay: registration, national authorisations and each country's own geographical-zone arrangements.
