September 25, 2017 – Donald Trump has signed a new
proclamation to replace his expired travel ban, introducing
restrictions on USA immigration for three new countries.
North Korea, Venezuela and Chad join the list of countries
facing travel restrictions to the U.S., bringing the total number
to eight, with Sudan dropping off the list of countries covered by
the previous ban.
The new rules will go into effect on October 18, 2017, impacting
citizens of the following countries: Chad, Iran, Libya, North
Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The previous 90-day
travel ban was due to expire on September 24, 2017.
While some of the countries covered by the new proclamation face
an indefinite visa ban for all their citizens, more targeted
restrictions impact others. The Venezuelan part of the ban, for
example, suspends non-immigrant visas only for certain government
officials and their families. A breakdown of how citizens of the
eight countries are affected is
