“This is not a complete ban on issuing visas. We will continue to issue visas to tourists, businessmen, workers and students. We have not canceled any visas based on these restrictions: if you already have a visa, you can go to the USA, ”RIA Novosti quotes the words of the American ambassador to Bishkek, Donald Lou.
He noted that restrictions apply only to migrants and participants in the visa lottery of green cards from Kyrgyzstan.
Earlier it became known that the United States will restrict travel to the country of citizens from Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, Tanzania and Eritrea due to the security situation in these countries.
Citizens of Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Eritrea and Myanmar will not be able to apply for a visa to immigrate to the United States. Citizens of Tanzania and Sudan will be prohibited from participating in the visa lottery.
Since January 24, new visa restrictions on “maternity tourism” have come into force in the United States.
