entry restrictions

Who may enter

Entry restrictions are rules limiting who or what may enter a place, country, or system.

Immigration entry restrictions control who may cross borders—based on nationality, health status, criminal history, or visa requirements.

Buildings may have entry restrictions based on age, membership, or dress code.

COVID-era entry restrictions required proof of vaccination.

The term often appears in travel advisories and policy debates.
