American Travelers Banned from These Countries for 2026

For 2026, Americans are Prohibited from Visiting the following Countries:

Chad: Was One of the First to Implement a Ban on U.S. Tourism. It is still Allowing those who were issued a Visa before June 9th, 2025.

Cuba: Americans are Technically Prevented from Vacationing in Cuba, meaning if you do want to Visit, you have to do some Extra Planning, and perhaps even Convincing. You see, the Trump(R) Administration issued a 5-year Ban on Americans Vacationing there, while also understanding Cuba Thrives on Tourism, given their Stringent Government. By the way, this is nothing New. In Order to Legally Visit Cuba in Accordance with Current Policy, you must Claim One of 12 Categories found here.

Niger: It's highly unlikely many Americans are Scoping out Niger as a Vacation Destination any time soon. This Off-Path African Nation is One of the Level 4 Destinations. While every Country has its Own Unique Appeal. Niger along with Chad, has Implemented ‘tit-for-tat' Bans on U.S. Tourists, despite certainly needing an Economic Boost. Niger is One of the Countries America has Restricted as of Late for the Foreseeable Future, and Niger has Pulled the “if you can do it, I can do it” Maneuver. A Diplomat was quoted as saying: "Niger is completely and permanently prohibiting the issuance of visas to all U.S. citizens and indefinitely banning entry to its territory for nationals of the United States”.

North Korea: Unless you're Dennis Rodman, you may Not have any Desire to Visit what's known as the “Hermit Kingdom”. Americans have Officially been Banned from entering North Korea, One of the Most Isolated and Tightly Controlled Nations, since 2017. Since the 2017 Ban, North Korea has Reopened for Tours, even Holding a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for a Surprisingly Impressive New Beach Resort in 2025.

But Americans will Not have a Chance to Visit even if they Dared, as the U.S. Extended this Ban until August 2026. The Closest You can currently get to breathing North Korea's Ssmog-Filled Air, is the famous Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea, but even then, it's pretty tense!
