Who can Visit America? Trump B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa Rules for Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi
This helper examines the 2026 U.S. visitor-visa environment for Zimbabwean families and uses three household situations to show why the answer can now differ sharply depending on the traveller's visa history. Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi are all among the 19 nationalities subject to the partial B-1/B-2 suspension under Presidential Proclamation 10998, but a visa that was valid on January 1, 2026 was not revoked by that proclamation.
