List Of European Countries That Have Just Been Banned From Entering The US

🚫 Are European Countries Newly Banned?

No. As of early 2026, there has been no official U.S. government announcement banning citizens of European countries from entering the United States purely on the basis of nationality.

Most of the recent U.S. travel restrictions and entry bans announced by the White House apply to countries in other regions — primarily the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia and the Caribbean — and are tied to national security and immigration processing concerns. (The White House)

📍What the U.S. Travel Restrictions Actually Include

Recent U.S. policy changes under the presidential administration have expanded travel bans to include more countries, but none of these newly banned countries are in continental Europe. According to the most detailed official proclamation:

• Countries fully banned from entry include nations such as Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, and several others in the Middle East and Africa. (The White House)
• Those with partial restrictions face limited categories of visas rather than a total entry ban. (The White House)

These expansions stem from assessments involving visa overstay rates, security vetting issues, and diplomatic cooperation concerns, and they do not currently list European nations as targets of a blanket ban. (The White House)

❗ Where the Confusion May Come From

Some older, unrelated travel bans were issued historically — for example:

• During the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary bans restricted travelers coming from much of continental Europe if they had recently been in those countries, but those orders were emergency public health measures and have long since expired. (globalguardian.com)
• Individual European travellers (such as politicians or activists) may have been denied U.S. visas for specific legal or diplomatic reasons, but this does not constitute a country-wide travel ban. For example, a French politician’s visa was reportedly rejected in 2025 in a specific case, but this was a personal visa denial — not a U.S. ban on all French nationals. (Wikipédia)

🧭 What This Means for European Travelers

If you hold a European passport (from countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.), you are not part of any newly imposed U.S. entry ban. However:

• Visa policies and application outcomes can still vary depending on individual circumstances, purpose of travel, and security screening.
• Travel advisories from European governments sometimes reflect concerns about U.S. entry procedures and enforcement — but these are warnings to travelers, not evidence of a U.S. travel ban on European citizens. (Condé Nast Traveler)
