Nigeria Federal Government urges US govt to reconsider its single-entry, 3-month visa validity decision

[Augusta]

The Federal Government has urged the United States to reconsider its revised visa reciprocity policy, which now limits Nigerian non-immigrant visas to single-entry, three-month validity.

In a statement released today by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the Federal government expressed concern over the U.S.decision amidst partnership, cooperation and shared global responsibilities by both countries.



“The attention of the government has been drawn to the recent decision by the U.S. to revise its visa reciprocity schedule for Nigerian citizens, limiting the validity of non-immigrant visas, including B1/B2, F and J categories, to three months with a single entry.

Government views this development with concern and keen interest, particularly given the longstanding cordial relations and strong people-to-people ties between our two countries. he wrote

Every country has the sovereign right to determine who may enter their country as it is a privilege (not a right) to do so.
In NIgeria's case, the reason may be the lack of vetting of Nigerians seeking to travel to the U.S; until that is improved, I don't see the U.S. changing tact here.
