Some rough coffee thought ideas among a visa/passport program:
There are three types: Tourist, Work, and Politician/Press. The main difference is duration of stay.
Embassies can deny entry if a person would present a danger to society at large. These reasons are detailed and provided on rejection.
Canmephian Embassies track the news, and communicate with each other (Preventing communications is illegal under treaty). If you make the news, you get put on a list and investigated into why you're making the news. This gets sorted down into a risk factor: Welcomed, Harmless, Problematic, Requiring mental eval, "OH HELL NO!", and Classified. The latter is usually due to court orders and pending court action (no matter what the source). All are well documented, and the classification is court reviewable.
People who are not on the list and ask for a visa are background checked extensively, similar to a security clearance but without outside interviews. This includes if officials miss the news, they recheck it. People of the same name as someone "in the news" may be pulled into a short interview ("Miss Price, you are a... wait, you're not her." "Yes, I get that. I share the same name with a black Gospel singer." "Apologies Mr. Price. We'll approve your visa application. We'd like to reimburse you for your time...")
For instance:
* a few parents in Ohio would be marked Problematic and be subject to additional screening.
* Certain politicians are on the "OH HELL NO!" list and if they insist on coming, they get a mental evaluation no matter what.
* Former President Trump is "Classified" due to pending litigation. He used to be "Problematic" before jumping right into "OH HELL NO!" and documentation currently states that he may never get below "Requiring mental evaluation".
* Russian President Putin is "Classified" due to standing Canmephian court orders regarding treaty violations.

That's the immigration/residency/refugee (IRR) program. Down the hall and to the right. Have any existing ID's and passports ready.
Huh, interesting stuff.
