US Travel Ban List 2026: US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on December 4, 2025, that the Trump administration intended to expand the number of countries covered by its travel ban—i.e., those barred from entering the United States—to include immediate family members of US citizens from nearly 40 countries.
The new policy, published in an executive order from the White House on December 16, 2025, will place a total of 39 countries under full or partial US travel restrictions, which took effect on January 1, 2026.
The White House claimed that the extended travel restriction is “necessary to prevent the entry of foreign nationals about whom the United States lacks sufficient information to assess the risks they pose”.
On December 16, under Proclamation 10998, a full ban on entry applies to immigrants and all nonimmigrants from a total of 20 countries and entities as of January 1, 2026.
Additionally, it also imposes a partial suspension of entry on 20 additional countries, restricting entry for immigrants and for nonimmigrants seeking admission in the B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M, and J visa categories.
Below is a table listing all countries whose citizens are subject to the US travel ban, effective January 1, 2026.
