The US State Department has shifted to issuing single-entry, three-month visas for Nigerians under non-immigrant and non-diplomatic categories, replacing the previous five-year multiple-entry visas. This change follows a history of tightening travel regulations, including a proposed expansion of travel bans affecting Nigeria. Visa reciprocity is described as an evolving process, potentially subject to adjustments in entry permits and validity duration. In 2024, Nigeria accounted for almost one-fifth of the US's non-immigrant visas issued in Africa, highlighting its significance within the visa framework.
