Donald Trump is scheduled to offer comprehensive travel restrictions on 43 countries, including Russia and Belarus, in a dramatic migration campaign.
The proposed policy – which has not been completed – divides the countries into three categories, as it faces some full visa suspension and other partial restrictions.

According to a memorandum in the New York Times, Russian visas will be determined sharply, while the Belarusian travelers can see their arrival in the United States.
The countries listed on the list have been warned that they will remain banned unless “the governments of palaces are treated within 60 days.”
Politics is called 11 countries – including Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran and North Korea – where it faces the most sharp restrictions, with a full visa suspension.
The second group of 10 countries will face parties that affect tourism, students and immigration visas, with some exceptions.
A third group of 22 countries can also see a restricted visa if it fails to address security concerns.
These alleged issues include the security of the weak passport, the insufficient exchange of passengers, or the sale of citizens to individuals from countries already preserved.
A US official told the New York Times that the list is still changing and has not yet obtained the final approval of the administration, including Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.
Flashback to “Islamic Ban”
This step reflects the controversial travel ban in Trump for the year 2017, which targeted many Muslim majority countries before Joe Biden turned it in 2021.
Some countries appear from the “original Islamic ban” list again, but the new proposal is expanding greatly.
Critics asked why some countries – such as Bhutan, known as the low crime rate – were included, while major global players such as China and India are absent.
Wealthy businessmen and visa holders from some affected countries can still enter the United States under a restricted category.
But they will need mandatory personal interviews to secure travel approval, according to New York Times reports.
“Gold Card” visas
Trump previously announced that he wanted to start selling gold card visas for $ 5 million to foreigners who want to move to America and create job opportunities.
The US President revealed the immigration program in late February, which may start within weeks.
He added that the Russian few can qualify for the golden cards, which were described as “a fairly green card, but at a higher level of development.”
“We will put a price on that card about 5 million dollars, and this will give you the green card privileges, in addition to it will be a path to citizenship,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

“The wealthy will come to our country by buying this card.
“They will be rich, they will be successful, and they will spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes and employ many people.
“We think it will be very successful and has not been done before.”
Howard Lootnick, Minister of Commerce, explained that the Trump administration intends to end the EB-5 immigrant program and “replace it with the Trump Gold Card.”
EB-5 gives investors the opportunity to apply for a permanent residence in the United States if they “invest the necessary investment in a commercial institution in the United States” and intends to create or maintain 10 full-time permanent jobs.
Lutnick described the EB-5 program as “full of innocence, fraud and fraud”, adding, “It was a way to get a green card that was low in price.”
He said that once it is examined, gold cards can “invest in America and we can use this money to reduce our deficit.”
The president expected that the gold card will attract “very high -level persons” who contribute to creating job opportunities.
How does the US visa system work?
The United States is currently providing a set of visas for foreigners who want to live and work in the country, each with a set of requirements and restrictions.
Widely, visas are divided into two categories: non -migratory visas, which are temporary and are usually released for work, study, tourism and immigrant visas, which provide a path to permanent residence (green card).
For those looking for long -term accommodation, the process of ordering the green card can be strict and take a long time, and often take years.
Some applicants get green cards through family care, employer care, humanitarian programs such as refugees, or asylum.
Others may qualify through investment-based programs such as the EB-5 visa, which allows individuals to apply for permanent residence if they invest a large amount of money in an American company and create job opportunities.
On the other hand, non-migratory visas include work based on work, such as H-1B, for skilled workers, L-1 for corporate transport operations and O-1 for individuals with unusual capabilities.
Many of these visas have strict civil standards and annual caps, which makes them very competitive.
The complexity and length of the American immigration process means that many foreign citizens face long waiting times and important legal obstacles before securing the right to live and work in the country permanently.
