The United States Department of Homeland Security has suspended the visa-waiver program for Chinese citizens traveling to the Northern Mariana Islands. This policy change, announced by Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, restricts the previously visa-free entry status for Chinese nationals visiting the U.S. territory.
The suspension impacts travel regulations for the Northern Mariana Islands, which had previously maintained a distinct visa-waiver policy for Chinese tourists compared to the rest of the United States. The move reflects a shift in federal oversight regarding border security and immigration protocols within the Pacific territory.
