U.S. Visa Update for Nigerians

Effective July 8, 2025, most U.S. non-immigrant, non-diplomatic visas issued to Nigerian citizens will now be single-entry and valid for 3 months only.

✅ Visas issued before July 8 remain valid as issued.

This change reflects updated U.S. visa reciprocity standards, which may be reviewed or adjusted anytime. U.S. visa criteria and standards are designed to protect the integrity of U.S. immigration systems. These standards are based on global technical and security benchmarks. The U.S. Mission in Nigeria is working with the Government of Nigeria to ensure that Nigeria can meet the criteria.

Examples of standard criteria include:
• Secure Travel Documents: Ensuring countries issue secure travel documents with verified traveler identities.
• Visa Overstay Management: Implementing measures to limit overstays by travelers on U.S. visas.
• Information Sharing: Sharing relevant security and/or criminal record information to protect public safety.
