Recently, several clients have asked about the travel ban and whether it will impact their plans. The upcoming travel ban will have little impact on their travel. It will not affect you unless you anticipate visiting one of the affected countries. My conversations are almost exclusively about Latin American countries and Mexico, which are not currently on any restricted list. 

Here is a list of the currently impacted countries. There are different restrictions based on the country, and each tier has a different level of scrutiny.
