Palestinian Passport Holders Will Also Not Be Able to Travel to America

In addition to the 7 countries, Trump has also dealt a major blow to Palestinian passport holders. Those who hold Palestinian passports will also not be able to travel to America now.

Reason for the Ban?

According to Trump, this ban is necessary for America's national security because these countries have serious deficiencies in screening and waiting, document fraud, terrorist activities, high visa overstay rates, and a lack of information sharing. For this reason, travel to America for citizens of these countries has been completely banned.

When Will the Ban Come into Effect?

The ban on travel to America for citizens of these 7 countries will come into effect from January 1, 2026. However, there are exceptions to this rule, including legal permanent residents, certain diplomatic visa holders, matters of national interest, and asylum applications.

Previously Banned People from 12 Countries

Trump had previously completely banned the travel of citizens from 12 countries to America. These 12 countries include Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
