The Biden Administration issued a proclamation suspending the entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all foreign nationals who were physically present within any of the following countries or territories during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States:
This proclamation is effective at 12:01 am EST on November 29, 2021. This proclamation does not apply to persons aboard a flight scheduled to arrive in the United States that departed prior to 12:01 am EST on November 29, 2021.
These are the only country-specific travel bans due to COVID-19 at this time. Prior country-specific bans were revoked via proclamation on October 25, 2021. The same proclamation provided for limitations on travel for unvaccinated foreign nationals.
Who is exempt from this new travel ban?
