The U.S. has reinstated travel restrictions that ban citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan and Iran, effective June 9, 2025. This measure, reminiscent of Trump's earlier policies, is intended to enhance national security amid fears related to visa overstays and inadequate internal vetting processes in these nations. Additional restrictions will apply to seven other countries. The policy has drawn varied international responses and resurfaced debates about the balance between security and travel freedom, as the U.S. contrasts its stance with more open policies adopted by other countries.
The new U.S. travel policy bans citizens from 12 countries over security concerns, reviving a controversial measure from Trump’s presidency, effective June 9, 2025.
The policy aims to tighten national security by addressing frequent visa overstays and lack of cooperation in repatriating deported nationals from specific countries.
