A statement issued on Tuesday by the US Embassy in Abuja said that, effective immediately, most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas issued to Nigerian citizens will be single-entry visas with a three-month validity period.

According to the statement, those U.S. non-immigrant visas issued before July 8, 2025, will retain their status and validity.

The statement said, “We wish to underscore that, as is standard globally, visa reciprocity is a continuous process and is subject to review and change at any time, such as increasing or decreasing permitted entries and duration of validity. You can view the latest information on visa reciprocity schedules for all countries at travel.state.gov.

“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 is working with the Government of Nigeria to ensure that Nigeria can meet the criteria.”

It gave examples of standard criteria, including Secure Travel Documents, to ensure countries issue secure travel documents with verified traveller identities.

Visa Overstay Management aimed at implementing measures to limit overstays by travellers on U.S. visas.
Information Sharing is also aimed at sharing relevant security and/or criminal record information to protect public safety.

“The United States values its longstanding relationship with Nigeria and remains committed to expanding our partnership based on mutual respect, shared security priorities, and economic opportunity, keeping our countries safer and stronger.

“We commend the ongoing efforts by the Government of Nigeria’s immigration and security agencies to meet standards of international best practices. We continue to engage with Nigerian government officials to address the remaining challenges.

“Nigerian travellers are encouraged to respect and adhere to the terms of their visas, and ensure travel documents are authentic, accurate, and up to date. The United States remains a committed partner in deepening people-to-people ties with Nigeria via business, educational, and cultural exchanges.

“We look forward to continued cooperation at all levels with the Nigerian public and government officials to ensure safe and lawful travel between the United States and all countries,” the statement added.

The Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, Kimiebi Ebienfa, said they are assessing the new policy.

“We are assessing the new policy and its necessary implications. The Government will respond soon after due consultation with relevant stakeholders,” he said.
