A travel ban is one of a variety of mobility restrictions imposed by governments. Bans can be universal or selective. The restrictions can be geographic, imposed by either the originating or destination jurisdiction. They can also be based on individual status, such as health or vaccination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments banned entry by residents of some or all other countries.

For example, if New Zealand decides not to allow travel to the country, the government stops issuing travel visas. Without a valid visa, citizens of other countries cannot enter.

Pandemic[]

Owing to the spread of COVID-19, many countries have restricted international and/or domestic travel.

The United States banned flights coming to the United States from India, beginning on May 4, 2021,^[1] with exceptions for U.S. citizens and those with permanent residency cards.

Litigation[]

Many controversies have sprung up about whether governments have the right to do so. In the United States, a lawsuit challenged Executive Order 13769 that banned travel from 7 Muslim majority countries.
