flag Starting Jan. 21, 2026, Nigerian travelers need a $5,000–$15,000 bond for U.S. B1/B2 visas to reduce overstays.

flag Starting January 21, 2026, the U.S. requires Nigerian citizens applying for B1/B2 visas to post a financial bond of $5,000 to $15,000, determined during the visa interview, to ensure compliance with visa terms and reduce overstays. flag The bond, paid via the U.S. Treasury’s Pay.gov platform using Form I-352, is not a guarantee of approval and is only refundable if the traveler departs on time, does not travel, or is denied entry. flag The rule applies to all applicants regardless of where they apply and mandates entry through three designated airports: JFK, Washington Dulles, and Boston Logan. flag The policy, part of a broader initiative targeting 38 countries with higher overstay rates and security concerns, follows earlier travel restrictions and aims to enhance immigration compliance.
