United States Implements New Visa Reciprocity Rules for Nigeria

The U.S. Department of State has announced a revision to its non-immigrant visa reciprocity policy, affecting Nigerian travelers. Under the new regulation, which takes effect immediately, most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas issued to Nigerian citizens will now be single-entry visas valid for a period of three months.

Visas issued prior to July 8, 2025, will remain valid according to the original terms. The Department emphasizes that visa reciprocity is an ongoing, global process that may be adjusted at any time. Changes can include the number of permitted entries or duration of stay. For the most up-to-date information, applicants are advised to consult the visa reciprocity schedule at travel.state.gov.

The purpose of U.S. visa standards is to uphold the integrity and security of the country’s immigration system. These standards align with global benchmarks and technical requirements. The U.S. Mission in Nigeria continues to work closely with the Nigerian government to meet these benchmarks.

Key U.S. visa reciprocity criteria include:

  • Secure Travel Documentation: Countries are expected to issue passports and travel documents that meet international security standards and verify traveler identities.
  • Visa Overstay Prevention: Systems should be in place to reduce the likelihood of travelers overstaying their permitted period in the U.S.
  • Security Information Sharing: Partner nations are encouraged to share security and criminal background data to safeguard public safety.

The U.S. values its strong diplomatic ties with Nigeria and remains committed to expanding collaboration based on mutual trust, shared security goals, and economic opportunities. The efforts of Nigerian immigration and security agencies toward aligning with global best practices are acknowledged and appreciated.

Nigerian travelers are encouraged to comply strictly with the conditions of their visas and ensure that all travel documents are valid and authentic. The United States continues to support educational, cultural, and business exchanges with Nigeria and looks forward to deepening cooperation between both nations.
