The order bans the “entry” of foreigners from those countries and specifically exempts from the ban those who hold certain diplomatic visas.
Not included in the exemption, however, are those who hold long-term temporary visas — such as students or employees — who have the right to live in the United States for years at a time, as well as to travel abroad and back as they please.

Google recalled all travelling staff members to the United States following the order and told the BBC it is concerned about the possible restrictions preventing it from recruiting top talent abroad.
