U.S. tightens visa rules for Nigerians, issuing only single-entry, three-month permits.

The United States has imposed stricter visa rules for Nigerian citizens, reducing most non-immigrant visas to single-entry and a validity of three months. This change aims to align with its visa reciprocity policy. Meanwhile, Nigeria denies stopping the issuance of five-year multiple-entry visas to U.S. citizens. The Nigerian government is urging the U.S. to reconsider its decision and maintain diplomatic ties. This shift affects travel, business, and study for many Nigerians.
