The Proclamation lifts nonimmigrant visa bans for Turkmenistan, citing improved cooperation with the U.S., while maintaining restrictions on immigrant visas for its nationals.
President Donald Trump has signed a new proclamation tightening restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals into the United States, adding 15 more countries to those subject to partial travel bans.
The move was made on Tuesday as part of ongoing efforts to tighten U.S standards for travel.
The newly added countries include Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The Proclamation continues full restrictions on the original 12 high-risk countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
It also imposes full restrictions on five additional countries based on recent security analyses: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria, as well as individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents. Two countries previously under partial restrictions Laos and Sierra Leone are now subject to full restrictions. Meanwhile, partial restrictions remain for Burundi, Cuba, Togo, and Venezuela.

Exceptions are provided for lawful permanent residents, current visa holders, certain visa categories such as athletes and diplomats, and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests.
Stay Back And Build Your Country – Shehu Sani Reacts Following US New Visa Ban
Sani made the call on Wednesday in a post on his verified X handle, following the recent visa ban imposed by the United States Government on some African countries.
Former lawmaker and ex-representative of the Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has called on African leaders to stay at home and focus on rebuilding their countries.
Sani made the call on Wednesday in a post on his verified X handle, following the recent visa ban imposed by the United States Government on some African countries.
United States President Donald Trump signed a new proclamation further restricting the entry of foreign nationals into the country, adding 15 more nations to the list facing partial travel limitations.
Reacting, the former lawmaker said, “They said the first visa ban focused on those who engage in acts of religious persecution, and many jubilated on social media. The second visa restriction is for everyone and Nigeria is listed among 23 others.
“The recent list has no Arab countries but mostly Black Africans and Caribbeans even though safety and security was used as the basis.
“The message is very clear. Third World migrants are not welcomed. Stay back and build your country or deal with your problems.”
