The White House issued a Presidential Proclamation on September 24, 2017, that imposes new travel restrictions on Iran, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Syria, as well as newly added countries North Korea, Chad, and Venezuela. The new restrictions are the result of the government’s review of worldwide visa security measures ordered in the March 6, 2017 Executive Order Number 13780 travel ban. Parts of the Proclamation went into effect immediately, and the rest will go into effect on October 18, 2017.
