Travel Ban

A Travel Ban is a form of government-imposed restriction that prohibits or severely limits the entry or exit of specific individuals, groups, or nationals from designated countries, often implemented as a tool of foreign policy, national security, or public health, and frequently intersects with international sanctions and regulatory compliance frameworks. These restrictions, which can be temporary or indefinite, require financial institutions and other regulated entities to conduct enhanced due diligence to ensure they are not facilitating transactions for prohibited persons, thereby linking the ban directly to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations.
