One Nation, One Visa Policy Act
The One Nation, One Visa Policy Act (S 3857) requires all nationals of the People's Republic of China - including those from Hong Kong and Macau - to hold a valid U.S. visa for entry, eliminating visa-free access. It prohibits using Department of Homeland Security funds to allow Chinese nationals to participate in programs like the Guam and Northern Mariana Islands Visa Waiver Program. The bill enforces existing visa requirements by banning federal funding for visa-free admission under current agreements. This directly affects Chinese citizens seeking to travel to the U.S. without a visa through existing waiver programs.
