The Trump administration is planning to add 7 countries – Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan & Tanzania – to its travel ban list, U.S. media reports said on Tuesday.
Under the current version of the ban, citizens of Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, as well as some Venezuelan officials and their relatives are blocked from obtaining a large range of U.S. immigrant and non-immigrant visas.
Chad was previously covered under the ban but was removed in April 2018.
Citizens of the countries can apply for waivers to the ban, but they are exceedingly rare.
