Talk:List of citizenships refused entry to foreign states

Palestinian territories citizens travel ban
Palestinian passport is denied upon entry in Lebanon, but it's not added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.28.139.172 (talk) 09:09, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Column indicating which side implements ban
In my opinion there should be an additional column in the table indicating which government issues the ban. In some cases, it's the government of the passport holder (the passport might read "Not valid for travel to country X," for example), while in other cases, the receiving country may ban the entry of certain nationalities, even though that country doesn't prohibit its citizens from going there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wingedbeaver (talk • contribs) 13:18, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Somalia
Hello, can add source on bans for Somali citizens ? --Bouzinac (talk) 14:46, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

US citizens forbidden to enter Cuba
Why is this missing in the table? The ban is still very active: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/04/travel/cuba-travel-restrictions-trump.html Lama010101 (talk) 08:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You are correct in that the ban is still active; however, the ban has been imposed by the U.S. government on its own citizens. This article lists bans imposed by the country one is trying to enter. Cuba still permits Americans to enter, although the U.S. doesn’t want its citizens to do so.

US citizens forbidden to enter North Korea
The prohibition on traveling to North Korea is also imposed by the US government, not by the North Korean one. Should this then not be treated the same as Cuba, above? Stian (talk) 04:59, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Are these worth mentioning?
This is supposed to be an article about states which "refuse entry to all citizens of certain states" (emphasis added). But for the USA as a state refusing entry, there are six countries where the citizenship refused entry is qualified: "Iran (except with a valid student or visitor exchange visa), Libya (for B visa applicants), Sudan (for Diversity Immigrant Visa applicants), Tanzania (for Diversity Immigrant Visa applicants), Yemen (for B visa applicants), Venezuela (for officials in Nicolás Maduro's administration and their immediate family members)". Due to the qualifications needed, should any of these be included? Especially Venezuela -- most Venezuelan citizens aren't Maduro administration officials or immediate family members. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:42, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Article's scope
The article's scope doesn't seem to be well defined:


 * United States: mentions what's needed to travel to North Korea (as far as I know, North Korea doesn't refuse entry to US citizens), but there is no mention of Cuba.
 * Russia-Ukraine: mentions the exceptions who might be denied entry.
 * Israel: Malyasia was recently removed from the list, even though it imposes special restrictions on Israeli citizens (their entry needs to be approved by the Ministry of Home Affair).

If the countries that impose restrictions are to be listed, then Malaysia needs to be restored, otherwise the Russia-Ukraine entry needs to be removed. The United States entry is confusing. M.Bitton (talk) 14:19, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

I agree with this, but I don't know the best way to fix it. It seems to me at least two pages are called for:
 * A list of countries that refuse entry to a defined group of foreigners (whether by citizenship or other criteria, ie. Armenia-Azerbaijan or India-Pakistan basing it on ancestry)
 * A list of countries restricting their OWN nationals from travel to prohibited destinations

Not really sure how to resolve the question of partial or temporary travel bans. Do they get listed? Do they get their own page? Stian (talk) 05:04, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Artsakh
Should Artsakh be removed? 177.76.209.102 (talk) 23:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
