In today’s update, I talk about the U.S. Department of State significant change to visa policy for Nigerian non‑immigrant and non‑diplomatic visas.
• Effective immediately, most such visas will be single‑entry and valid for only three months.
• Visas issued before July 8, 2025 will retain their original terms.
• The policy aims to “protect the integrity of U.S. immigration systems” based on global technical and security benchmarks.
• The U.S. Mission in Nigeria emphasizes ongoing cooperation with Nigerian authorities to align on secure travel document standards, overstay management, and information sharing
