The United States expanded the list of countries whose nationals face entry restrictions or bans, citing national security, identity screening, and data-sharing concerns. Some visa categories remain available for certain countries, but tourism, study, and immigration travel is unavailable in many cases; the restrictions also cover holders of Palestinian Authority passports and may extend to close relatives.
According to the source, nationals of the listed countries now face different levels of access: some are subject to a full entry ban, while others retain only limited visa options. This can directly affect plans for tourism, study, or immigration, so applicants must consider both the visa category and their nationality before preparing documents. The measure primarily affects non-residents from the listed countries and families whose relatives may be covered by the expanded restrictions. It is worth monitoring for anyone planning to enter the United States in 2026, although the source does not provide a complete official list of exceptions.
