U.S. Department of State has announced that most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas for Nigerian citizens will now be single-entry with a three-month validity, effective immediately.
With Existing visas issued before July 8, 2025, remaining valid, this update is part of the U.S. global visa reciprocity policy, which can be reviewed and adjusted over time.
The U.S. explained that the policy aims to protect the integrity of its immigration system, based on security and technical standards, and is working with Nigeria to meet these benchmarks, such as secure travel documents and managing overstays. Despite the restrictions, the U.S. reaffirmed its strong diplomatic relationship with Nigeria and its commitment to partnership, security, and mutual growth.
