Are U.S. Citizens prohibited from travel to Crimea?

1/23/2015 11:12:06 AM

The US State Department website indicates (updated after the executive order):

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens to defer all travel to the
eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. In addition, Russian military forces continue to occupy the Crimean Peninsula and are present on the eastern border of Ukraine.

It does not explicitly ban it, however.

Indeed, certain members of the Russian state have had travel bans imposed on them by the US government, Canada and the EU, however, there’s nothing currently stopping you travelling to Crimea.

To compare, their page for Cuba still says travel is unlawful for US Nationals, while their similar page for Ukraine just describes the visas available.

So for now, while you need to be careful, the US State Department has not outlawed travel there.
