The US travel ban on Afghanistan exempts Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders, green card residents, dual nationals, and close family members.

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning travel to the United States by citizens of Afghanistan and 11 other countries. The order restricts entry from these nations, citing security concerns. The list includes Iran, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Myanmar, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
