There are various reasons for the US to limit
their Embassies; some of the obvious reasons include –natural disasters,
security concerns, civil unrest, or war. In this article, the countries without
US Embassies are listed along with their reasons. However, the countries with
short-term closures of US Embassies aren’t included.
1. Iran: The citizens of Iran looking for
US Visa will have to get help from US Embassies in Ankara of Turkey, Abu Dhabi
of the United Arab Emirates, or Yerevan of Armenia. The country has reportedly
refused to entertain the idea of re-opening a US Embassy in the capital state
–Tehran because of the “illogical” or irrelevant attitude displayed by the
country. Mainly abrasive behavior is the main reason behind the decision.
2. Bhutan: The country located in the
terrains of the Himalayan region between India and China –Bhutan doesn’t have a
US Embassy. On the other hand, Bhutan became a member of the United Nations as
early as in the year 1971; the tiny kingdom doesn’t possess diplomatic
relations with the US. For applying for a US Visa the citizens of Bhutan can
apply it in the US Embassy in New Delhi, India.
3. Caribbean Islands: The list of Caribbean
islands includes –Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, St.
Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Lucia. Though these picturesque islands do
not possess physical diplomatic relations with the US, there has been a
constant push by Congress to introduce a US Embassy in the Islands. However,
the residents can get help from the US Embassy in Barbados in order to apply
for the Visa.
4. North Korea: Nestled towards the
southeastern side of China, is North Korea. The country is particularly
infamous for the notorious secret society that seeks complete isolation from
the rest of the world. While diplomatic issues prevail with the US, North Korea
is still on talking terms with the Nation. If you are looking to apply for US
Visa you can do that from the US Embassy in Beijing, China.
5. Guinea-Bissau: This is a West African
Country that is now run by the president elected through democratic elections.
The small country has experienced its fair share of civil wars and coups and is
now functioning peacefully. Although the diplomatic relations of the US are
just fine with Guinea-Bissau, there hasn’t been an Embassy established yet. You
can look for the Embassy in Dakar, Senegal for the US Visa.
