Countries visited on DS-160

When applying for a B1/B2 US visa one needs to fill out the form DS-160. At some point this form ask "Have you traveled to any countries/regions within the last five years?". When answering yes, you have to "Provide a List of Countries/Regions Visited"

Is it silently understood that those are the countries visited in the last five years, or does one need to provide all countries visited ever?

Best Answer

From an American English common usage point of view, that question is intended to mean list the countries visited in the last five years.

While granted for people who are used to other variations of English this might not be clear, the US Government tends to write out questions and information as if they were speaking with the average American not someone for which English is a second or third language.
