Visa issues have thrown a US trip for Boris Johnson's girlfriend Carrie Symonds into disarray, reportedly due to her travel history.
The 31-year-old was preparing for a work trip with environmental group Oceana in the next few days, but her request to enter the country was blocked by US authorities, the Daily Mail has reported. It is believed her trip last year to Somaliland, which the US recognises as part of Somalia, could have played a part.
Such travel woes could be embarrassing for her partner, who is due to meet US President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in France over the weekend.Before travelling to America, UK citizens can apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization , which allows travel to the country for up to 90 days without having to apply for a visa.
Despite being denied, a person can then go through the normal process of applying for a visa. It was not clear if Ms Symonds had applied for an ESTA.

Carrie Symonds 'barred from US' and there's nothing Boris Johnson can do to helpThe Prime Minister's lover, 31, allegedly had her request blocked when she applied to go to the country in the next few days. What will Boris do now? Support his partner (Carrie) or, push her aside in favour of Trump? 🤔 I remember doing my esta these are questions that are asked. Why did she think she was any different. This is ridiculous & inconsistent with the US policy when it comes traveling to Somaliland. US & other officials go in & out of Somaliland, including US Ambassadors in Ethiopia & Kenya. If US citizens can visit Somaliland & re-enter the US why not others?
