Which countries are on Trump’s travel ban list, and who will be affected?

United States President Donald Trump signed a presidential proclamation on Wednesday banning citizens of 12 countries from entering the US. Heightened restrictions on entering the US have been put in place for nationals of seven more countries.

The 12 countries whose nationals are fully restricted from travelling to the US under Trump’s travel ban are:

Libya

Sudan
YemenWhich countries are subject to partial restrictions?

VenezuelaHow will Trump’s travel ban work?
Citizens from the 12 countries subject to a full ban on travel to the US will face a complete suspension of immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

Citizens from the seven countries which have been placed under partial restrictions will no longer be able to apply for immigrant visas or non-immigrant temporary visas covering permanent immigration, student visas and tourism visas including B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M and J. They will still be able to apply for some temporary visas, however.

Unlike an executive order, a presidential proclamation is not legally binding but generally signals a policy shift.

The new rules apply only to people outside the US at the time of the proclamation and who did not yet hold a valid visa at the time of the proclamation.

Are there any exceptions to the travel ban?
Yes. The new suspension and restrictions will not apply to:

Lawful permanent residents of the US, also known as green card holders.
Existing visa holders.
Foreign diplomats travelling under certain non-immigrant visa categories.
Dual nationals of the 19 countries included in the ban, if they are travelling on a passport of a country that is not subject to the ban.
Athletes or members of an athletic team, such as coaches, people performing a support role and immediate relatives, travelling for a major sporting event such as the World Cup or Olympics.
Immediate family immigrant visas (IR-1/CR-1, IR-2/CR-2, IR-5) “with clear and convincing evidence of identity and family relationship (eg DNA)”.
Adoptees.
Afghan Special immigrant visas.
Special immigrant visas for US government employees.
Immigrant visas for ethnic and religious minorities facing persecution in Iran.
