In June 2025 President Trump ordered that nationals of 19 countries be barred from receiving visas for admission to the US. In December 2025, he expanded the list of countries whose nationals are barred from admission to the US. For some countries, all nationals are barred, and for other countries, only those applying for certain visa categories are barred. There are exceptions for those who already have certain legal status in the US and those seeking visas for certain reasons. Importantly, individuals who already have valid visas issued prior to 01/01/2026 are permitted to enter. See more information in the links below.
