From the plain reading of the proclamation, it does not appear to apply to those who are outside the U.S. as of the effective date and who possess an unexpired and valid visa as of June 9, 2025. Please remember that this should not be construed as legal advice. However, we advise caution when deciding whether to travel internationally at this time for all those from the identified countries until we gain more knowledge of how this proclamation will be implemented in practice. The proclamation also states that no immigrant or nonimmigrant visa issued before the effective date shall be revoked pursuant to the proclamation.
The proclamation does not apply to lawful permanent residences of the United States, any dual nationals of a country listed in the proclamation when traveling on the passport of the other country not listed in the proclamation, and a few other unique exceptions.
