travel ban
Border crossing restriction
A travel ban is a government restriction prohibiting entry from specific countries or regions, typically imposed for security, public health, or diplomatic reasons.
The term gained prominence during debates over U.S. immigration policy: The travel ban blocked visitors from seven countries.
Travel bans also emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic to limit disease spread.
