Trump blocks entry of citizens from most African countries [View all]
Since the beginning of his second term in the White House in January 2025, President Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted African countries with various travel restrictions and, in some cases, outright bans from entering the U.S.
Citizens of countries including Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, Chad, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, the Republic of Congo, and Equatorial Guinea have been included in the full U.S. travel ban put in place in June 2025. Those from Angola, Benin, Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Togo, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are also prevented from applying for most business and student visas.
The overwhelming majority of countries whose citizens must now pay a bond of between $5,000 and $15,000 to apply for a visitor's visa for the U.S. are also located in Africa.
