Nigerians hit by cuts in US visa duration

The United States has announced comprehensive changes to Nigeria’s non -immigrant visa policy, as it has cut off the duration and circumstances in which most Nigerian travelers can enter the country.

Status on July 8, the US State Department says that all irregular and irregular irregular visas that have been issued to Nigerian citizens will now be released and effective for only three months.

She says this is part of the reorganization of the global ideal transaction, which is a sharp shift from the previous visa conditions, which often allows multiple entries over two years or more.

Nigeria also provides visas for one in valid for only three months for those planning to visit the country from the United States.

The Nigerian government has not yet attached.

The Foreign Ministry says that the visa policies are still “subject to continuous review” and may change depending on the standards of diplomacy, security and advanced immigration.

In a statement, the United States government said it is working closely with the Nigerian authorities to ensure that the country meets major international standards.

These include:

  • Issuing safe travel documents
  • Exaggerated visa management
  • Sharing security or criminal data for public safety purposes

The United States also ordered that social media accounts be examined for all foreigners who are applying for visas, including from Nigeria, due to “any indications of hostility towards citizens, culture, government, institutions or principles of the United States.”

Nigerians represent one of the largest number of students and Pesa to the United States in the world.
