美国暂停了包括太平洋岛屿在内的75个国家的移民签证,因为停留和福利问题,需要15美元的保证金。 U.S. paused immigrant visas for 75 nations, including Pacific islands, over stay and welfare concerns, with a $15K bond requirement.

2026年初,美国暂停了包括斐济、汤加、图瓦卢和瓦努阿图在内的75个国家的移民签证手续,并列举了对公共援助依赖性和逾期滞留率的关切。 In early 2026, the U.S. suspended immigrant visa processing for 75 countries, including Fiji, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu, citing concerns over public assistance dependency and overstay rates. 新的签证保证金试点方案要求每位申请人最多15 000美元,而汤加则面临签证完全冻结,影响到大量散居国外者。 A new visa bond pilot program requires up to $15,000 per applicant, while Tonga faces a complete visa freeze affecting its large diaspora. 旅游和商业方面的非移民签证仍然可以使用,双重国籍者和受迫害群体也有例外。 Non-immigrant visas for tourism and business remain available, and exceptions exist for dual nationals and persecuted groups. 这一举动与更广泛的移民执法努力挂钩,使太平洋国家与伊朗和俄罗斯等国家一样受到旅行限制,尽管太平洋岛民占美国移民的不到0.3%。 The move, tied to broader immigration enforcement efforts, places Pacific nations alongside countries like Iran and Russia in travel restrictions, despite Pacific Islanders making up less than 0.3% of U.S. immigrants.
