晴天霹雳，免签美国没戏了？

懂球弟

小弟去年拿到SC，现在在新加坡中资公司工作，因为工作需要出差伊朗，月底出行。刚才在网上闲逛，突然发现美国的那个esta，就是可以网上注册一下就可以去美国的那个，一旦去过伊朗伊拉克叙利亚等国，就不eligible了。更严重的是，即使我现在火线注册一个批准了，但是一旦去了伊朗，相当于条件变化了，理论上现有的esta就废了。

这相当于以后不能免签美国了？？？万一以后欧洲澳洲也搞个类似的，那我的新加坡护照只能通行东南亚了吗？

虽然第一次听说，但这个比较冤⋯⋯

万幸的是发现下面继续有豁免的情况:

o   Individuals who traveled to Iran for legitimate business-related purposes following the conclusion of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (July 14, 2015); and

但是不管怎么样，感觉都是上了黑名单，等着别人赦免了，唉，真不该趟这浑水，被老板忽悠了。

等我回来，第一时间让公司开个证明，然后去申请esta，否则夜长梦多，万一以后跳槽了那就麻烦了。

特朗普下台了就没事儿了，哈哈

川普就是一个搞事情的，哈哈哈

不是川普的事情，政策出台是2016年初，那个时候川普还不是总统。应该是前几年有不少发达国家的公民去投奔isis搞出来的事情。

原文摘录，红字部分是限制，蓝色部分是可以考虑赦免的情景。

Changes to the Visa Waiver Program

On January 21, 2016, the United States began implementing changes under the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 (the Act).  U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) welcomes more than a million passengers arriving to the United States every day and is committed to facilitating legitimate travel while maintaining the highest standards of security and border protection. Under the Act, travelers in the following categories are no longer eligible to travel or be admitted to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP):

Nationals of VWP countries who have traveled to or been present in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited exceptions for travel for diplomatic or military purposes in the service of a VWP country).
Nationals of VWP countries who are also nationals of Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria.
These individuals will still be able to apply for a visa using the regular immigration process at their embassies or consulates. For those who need a U.S. visa for urgent business, medical, or humanitarian travel to the United States, U.S. embassies and consulates stand ready to process applications on an expedited basis. Please visit  http://www.ustraveldocs.com/sg/ for information on the visa application process in Singapore.

Beginning January 21, 2016, travelers who currently have valid Electronic System for Travel Authorizations (ESTAs) and who have previously indicated holding dual nationality with one of the four countries listed above on their ESTA applications will have their current ESTAs revoked.

Under the new law, the Secretary of Homeland Security may waive these restrictions if he determines that such a waiver is in the law enforcement or national security interests of the United States. Categories of travelers who may be eligible for a waiver include:


o   Individuals who traveled to Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen on behalf of an international organizations, regional organizations, and sub-national governments on official duty;


o   Individuals who traveled to Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen on behalf of a humanitarian NGO on official duty; and


o   Individuals who traveled to Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen as a journalist for reporting purposes;


o   Individuals who traveled to Iran for legitimate business-related purposes following the conclusion of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (July 14, 2015); and


o   Individuals who have traveled to Iraq for legitimate business-related purposes.
