The Trump administration moves to tighten stay limits for certain foreign visitors, including students and journalists, according to multiple reports. Changes are described as potentially implementable as soon as September. For foreign students on student visas, the proposal would allow admission for the length of their academic program, but not longer than a four-year maximum. For foreign journalists, the proposed limit is shorter: most foreign journalists would be authorized to stay for up to 240 days, roughly eight months. Sources also report that journalists could seek additional time by applying to extend their stay in further 240-day periods. One reported exception concerns Chinese journalists, who would receive a shorter initial period of 90 days rather than the standard 240-day limit. The measures are framed as part of broader efforts to tighten legal immigration rules. The reports describe the policy details and timing but do not provide information on how enforcement will work or how eligibility is determined beyond the visa categories mentioned.
