On Dec. 16, 2025, President Trump signed a Proclamation expanding the June 4, 2025 travel restrictions to the United States. The Proclamation continues to fully ban the entry of nationals from the original 12 countries under the June 4, 2025 Proclamation and add seven additional countries to that list as well as individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents. Partial restrictions and entry limitations on 15 additional countries were also added in the December 2025 Proclamation. Nationals of Laos and Sierra Leone who had been subject to a partial entry ban are now fully banned under the Dec. 16, 2025 Proclamation and entry of nationals from Turkmenistan who plan to travel to the United States on B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M and J nonimmigrant visas are no longer banned. Nationals from designated countries who are planning to travel outside of the United States should carefully evaluate their situation and consult with an experienced immigration attorney to address travel-related concerns.
