15. Laos: Overstay Concerns & Visa Category Limitations
Why it's Restricted: Laos is included due to visa overstay concerns, leading to limitations on immigrant and key non-immigrant visa categories. This highlights a U.S. focus on ensuring foreign nationals adhere to their visa terms and depart on time. For Laotians, this means a more difficult path to long-term residency, study, or certain forms of tourism in the U.S., requiring stricter adherence to regulations.
