4. Republic of the Congo: Overstay Compliance & Visa Integrity

Why It's Banned: Similar to Chad, the Republic of the Congo is now under full suspension primarily due to persistently high visa overstay rates among its citizens. The U.S. emphasizes a need for greater compliance with its immigration regulations. This restriction profoundly impacts general travel, making it exceedingly difficult for Congolese citizens to visit family, pursue tourism, or participate in educational and exchange programs in the United States.
