Protecting America From Spies: Stricter Visa Rules for Espionage and Tech Transfer
This law tightens the rules for granting visas and entry into the United States for foreign nationals. The primary goal is to block individuals suspected of espionage, sabotage, or illegal transfer of sensitive technology outside the US borders. The new provisions also allow for the denial of entry to spouses and children of individuals deemed inadmissible on these security grounds, if the activity occurred within the last five years.
Key points
Entry is blocked for individuals involved in espionage or sabotage, even if their activities occurred outside the US.
Introduction of an entry ban for those violating laws related to the export of US technology and sensitive information.
Immediate family members (spouses and children) of individuals deemed national security threats may also be denied entry for a period of 5 years.
