US Govt Begins Issuing Three-Month Single-Entry Visas to Nigerians

NIGERIA, JUL 8 – The U.S. policy limits most Nigerian non-immigrant visas to single-entry, three-month validity to align with reciprocity and global security standards, affecting thousands of travelers.

  • The United States began issuing most non-immigrant visas to Nigerian citizens as single-entry visas valid for three months starting July 8, 2025.
  • The policy change resulted from the U.S. government's reciprocal visa approach responding to Nigeria’s short-term visa rules for Americans.
  • Previously, many Nigerians received multi-entry visas with validity up to two or five years, but the new policy enforces shorter validity and single-entry restrictions.
  • The U.S. Embassy highlighted that visa reciprocity is an ongoing matter subject to periodic assessment, which may result in adjustments to the number of allowed entries and the length of visa validity.
  • The U.S. government reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining strong bilateral ties with Nigeria and urged Nigerian travelers to strictly follow visa terms and maintain valid documents.
