visa bans
Blocked border crossings
Visa bans are government restrictions preventing citizens of specific countries from obtaining visas to enter.
They may target entire nations or specific individuals—officials, oligarchs, or those connected to human rights abuses.
The administration imposed visa bans on several countries.
Travel bans and visa bans overlap but aren't identical; travel bans may restrict movement regardless of visa status.
