Travel Restrictions of Citizens..?
The United States Government does not allow American citizens to visit Cuba, North Korea, or Iran without special permission from the Department of the Treasury. I understand that many foreigners are subject to obtain visas from the country that they wish to visit, but do any countries force its citizens to receive prior permission from there home countries.
For example, I know that a Russian citizen needs an American visa to visit America, but does a Russian citizen need permission from the Russian government as well?

Many countries require a permit to travel. Cuba, for example, is one of them. The US restriction is to prevent their citizens from spending money on nations that have been economically sanctioned. These are extreme and ridiculous measures and any American with common sense should stand against them. No economic embargo has ever served its purpose, on the contrary, they have become an excuse to ineffective governments, so they can blame their faults in the American opressor.

I have been trying to have a friend of mine from Russia(male) to visit, and he says he needs special permission from his country. He can not just leave even if he gets OK from US.
