visa restriction

Travel permit limitation

A visa restriction is a government-imposed limitation on who may enter a country, typically based on nationality, criminal history, or other criteria.

Countries with visa restrictions require travelers to apply for entry permission in advance rather than arriving freely: The new visa restrictions made it nearly impossible for citizens of those countries to visit.

Restrictions may range from requiring interviews and documentation to outright bans.
