News from Taiwan on the 7th: the Australian Foreign Ministry is in urgent consultation with the United States to discuss the issue of Australians of dual nationality visiting the United States
Australian citizens with dual passports, especially those from seven countries whose President ordered not to go to the United States, will have trouble coming to the United States in the future.
A spokeswoman for Foreign Minister Bi Xiaopu said foreign ministry officials were in talks with U.S. authorities and asked the United States to give clear guidance that those people could go to the United States visa-free and those who would not be allowed to visit the United States.
The United States has temporarily banned citizens from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from travelling to the United States.
Citizens with the above-mentioned seven nationalities and Australian citizenship may not be allowed to enter the United States for the time being.
The spokeswoman told reporters that the staff of the Australian Embassy in the United States were currently in contact with the United States government and asked the United States to give clear guidance. As usual, Australians could be granted a 90-day visa on arrival without an interview, as usual. Australian citizens with dual nationality cannot go to the United States.
She said all Australian citizens preparing to go to the United States were warned that their travel and travel were likely to be affected by the new U.S. Border protection policy.
`We advise all Australian citizens in the United States to contact their Australian embassies or consulates in the United States to see if they will be affected by visas, `she said.
In 2016, the United States Department of Homeland Security issued guidelines to control the entry of Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria into the United States, but not to prohibit them from entering the United States.
The Smarttraveller website of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued guidance that any Australian who had visited the country after 2011 would not be able to obtain an interview-free landing visa to the United States.
They need to interview and review the U. S. Embassy before they get a visa to the United States.
In addition, Australians with dual citizenship in Australia and Iraq, Iran, Sudan and Syria are not allowed to apply for e-online U. S. visas directly.
They must go to the United States Embassy in Australia and the consulate to apply for a regular visa to the United States.
