Mbabane – The Kingdom of Eswatini is set to receive eleven Third Country Nationals from the United States during October 2025, the government announced on 5 October.
The arrivals are part of a bilateral arrangement between Eswatini and the US to facilitate the temporary stay and eventual return of these individuals to their countries of origin.
The nationals will be held in a secured area separate from the public while the government, in coordination with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the relevant countries of origin, makes arrangements for their reintegration with their families. 
Two additional nationals are expected to be repatriated soon, following the successful return of a third country national to Jamaica on 21 September 2025. The government expressed gratitude to IOM and Jamaican authorities for their collaboration in the process.
Authorities have assured the public that the individuals do not pose any security threat to Eswatini or neighbouring countries.
Acting Government Spokesperson Thabile Mdluli provided the statement.
