News India Live, Digital Desk: If you or someone close to you is dreaming of going to America or planning a trip, then this news may disturb you a bit. America has made travel rules more strict in the name of securing its borders. The latest news is that America has increased the list of countries where entry of its citizens or those coming through there will be banned.
What has changed in the rules?
Friends, America is always very cautious about its security. In this series, the administration has added the names of many new countries to the list of travel restrictions. This means that now the citizens of these newly joined countries will not get America visa easily. What’s more, if a citizen of any other country (like you and I) has recently visited these banned countries, then he may also find it difficult to enter America.
What is the reason given?
Like every time, this time too the argument of American officials is ‘national security’. He says that in the countries which have been included in the list, either the security system is not good, or there is a threat of terrorist activities from there, or those countries are not sharing information about their own people with America. This is being seen as a restriction on “visa free travel” or the normal visa process.
Who will be affected?
Although the entire list is long, it directly impacts those who have dual citizenship or who had gone to those banned countries for business/travel. If you are an Indian and are visiting America normally, then there is nothing to fear, but if your passport is stamped with those ‘banned’ countries, then you may have to face tough questions in the visa interview.
The advice is that before booking flight tickets, check the new and complete list of the US State Ministry once, so that you do not have to be disappointed at the airport or embassy.
