More Countries Face Potential U.S. Travel Ban: What You Need to Know Now
45. Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea, one of Africa’s wealthiest nations per capita but deeply plagued by corruption, is reportedly under review. Concerns likely include weak passport security, opaque citizenship practices, and lack of cooperation on deportation and international law enforcement. The ruling regime’s control over state institutions further complicates international trust in its documentation systems. A travel ban would be diplomatically significant, signaling U.S. frustration with systemic noncompliance and potentially jeopardizing limited business and oil-sector engagements between the two countries.
