Canada and European Allies Caution Citizens About US Border Crackdown

Canada updated its travel advisory for the United States on Friday, warning citizens they must register with US authorities for stays longer than 30 days or risk penalties under a new rule taking effect next month.

The registration requirement, part of President Donald Trump’s “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” executive order signed on January 20, applies to non-US citizens and permanent residents starting April 11.

“Failure to comply with the registration requirement could result in penalties, fines, and misdemeanor prosecution,” Canada’s travel advisory said.

Several European countries have also revised their US travel guidance after reports of their nationals being detained by immigration officials at US borders.

Germany’s Foreign Office updated its travel advisory after several citizens were reportedly arrested entering the United States, according to local media reports. The German guidance notes US border officials have final authority on entry decisions.

“You can verify if you have been automatically registered on entry to the US by looking up your I-94 admission form on the US Customs Border Protection website,” the Canadian advisory stated.

The United Kingdom warned its citizens they “may be liable to arrest or detention” if they fail to follow entry rules. The warning followed reports of a British tourist being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the US-Canada border earlier this month.

Denmark and Finland have advised citizens about a separate US policy affecting travelers whose gender identity differs from their birth-assigned sex. Finland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs cited a Trump executive order recognizing only two sexes, warning entry might be denied if passport gender markers don’t match birth-assigned gender.

International visitor spending is estimated to fall 12.3% this year, representing a $22 billion loss, according to a February report by Tourism Economics. Western European travelers, meanwhile, accounted for 37% of overseas visits to the United States in 2024, according to US Department of Commerce data.

In the past, countries typically issued US travel warnings related to gun violence rather than immigration concerns. Uruguay in 2019 cautioned citizens about “growing indiscriminate violence, mostly for hate crimes” following mass shootings.
