Proclamation 10052

Amendment to Proclamation 10052

This proclamation amends Proclamation 10052 (June 22, 2020) to clarify that the COVID-19-related suspension of entry for certain nonimmigrants applies only to those who do not already possess a valid nonimmigrant visa in the specified classifications on the proclamation's effective date. The amendment narrows the scope of the original entry ban by exempting individuals with pre-existing valid visas.
