In this case, the person who was denied entry to the United States was Hex, who makes a living by distributing VR content. An active online sex worker, Hex has shows and performances on VRChat and earns money by posting images and videos on Fansly. In addition, VRChat's terms of service state that 'live streaming, advertising, and publishing of content of a sexually explicit nature or simulating sexual activity is not permitted.'



In 2023, Mr. Hex, who lives in the United Kingdom, applied for a tourist visa to implement a plan to visit a friend living in the United States and travel. However, in late January, Mr. Hex will be notified that he will not be permitted to enter the country permanently because he is engaged in prostitution.

Hex, who was shocked when he received the notification, said, 'What is this? Is this possible? What I am doing is completely legal.'

According to Clement Lee, director of

immigration law for the Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center, a non-profit legal services organization based in New York, immigration laws in New York state polygamous marriages . Along with drug abuse, ``working for prostitution'' is said to be the reason for refusal of entry.



Online sex work does not involve physical contact, which is a prerequisite for sexual activity, so it is unlikely that this alone will limit the issuance of visas. However, even if there is no evidence of prostitution, the Immigration Department and the Department of State speculate that ``people who engage in online sex work may engage in face-to-face sex work.'' it is legally possible to do so.

“As lawyers, we can point out that our clients’ backgrounds as sex workers do not align with immigration’s narrow and outdated definitions of sex work,” Lee said. Some people said they were unable to enter the country because they were under pressure in situations where they had no lawyers, such as when they were detained.'

Hex is also one of the sex workers who was subjected to unreasonable humiliation at the immigration office. At an interview asking for permission to enter the country, Mr. Hex explained, 'VRChat is a VR game, and I use a VR headset.' He said that he threw such a gaze at Mr. Hex. Also, when the person in charge asked, ``Do you meet these people on the site?'' Hex answered, ``Absolutely not,'' but as mentioned above, Mr. You will receive notice of the decision to deny.

Hex, who received the notification, said on Twitter, ``I wish good luck to all non-Americans who are doing Fansly and Onlyfans and are trying to go to America. I have been permanently denied entry into the country.'
