"Travel Ban" is a generic term that used to describe when going one place to another is not allowed. In 21st century, it is usually referred to when the government of one country decided not to allow people from other countries to come into its own country by air or land or when the traveling within the country from city to city is not allowed. Travel ban can be on a country level, as well as on a province or state level where traveling within one country is not permitted.

For example, if the United States decided not to allow people to travel to the U.S due to some reasons, the government will stop to issue visas for travelers to coming to the U.S. Without a valid visa, citizens of other countries will not be able to pass the United States border controls whether if they travel by air or by land. The most well know travel ban in this era is the "Trump's Travel Ban." Due to the spread of Covid-19, many countries around the world have set various restrictions on international and/or domestic travels. There are many controversies about whether the goverment has the right to do so. For example, people take legal actions against travels bans in order to lift the these travel restrictions. The most prominent example is the law suit that challenges the government about the Executive Order 13769 issued by the former President of the U.S Donald Trump.

Sometimes a probation issued by a judge can also limit someone's ability to travel. People may also consider this kind of travel restrictions as a type of travel ban. Even though the freedom of movement is protected under the Constitution of the United States, a judge will be able to issue probation limitations to those who have criminal offenses.
