Nigeria: Tinubu Didn't Stop 5-Year Visa Policy for Americans - Presidency

NIGERIA, JUL 10 – Nigeria maintains its 5-year multiple-entry visa policy for US citizens amid recent US visa restrictions affecting thousands of Nigerians, officials said.

  • Starting from early July 2025, new regulations affecting Nigerian applicants for non-immigrant and non-diplomatic U.S. visas, such as B1/B2 and F1 categories, were introduced by American authorities.
  • This change, explained as a reciprocity measure by the US, reduced visa validity primarily to a 90-day single-entry visa, affecting prior longer-term arrangements.
  • The Nigerian Presidency denied allegations that President Tinubu halted the provision of five-year multiple-entry visas to American nationals, affirming that Nigeria continues to uphold its current bilateral visa arrangements.
  • Bayo Onanuga stated that President Tinubu's government remains committed to working closely with US officials to align visa regulations with the enduring partnership between Nigeria and the United States.
  • Nigeria introduced an e-visa with 90-day single-entry validity to simplify travel for tourists and business visitors, but affirmed this does not replace the 5-year visa policy for US nationals.
