The United States and the United Arab Emirates have changed their visa policies for Nigerian citizens.

The US now issues single-entry visas with a three-month validity period for most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas, effective July 8, 2025.

Existing visas issued before this date remain valid. The US Embassy in Nigeria stated that this policy is part of a global visa reciprocity process, ensuring US visa practices align with how American citizens are treated by other countries.

The UAE has also restricted its visa policy, discontinuing transit visas for Nigerians and limiting tourist visa eligibility.

Nigerian applicants aged 18-46 traveling alone are not eligible for tourism visas, while applicants 45 and above must provide a single Nigerian personal bank statement with a minimum balance of $10,000 or its equivalent for six months.

Travel ambassador Ikechi Uko believes the US visa change may prompt the Nigerian government to modernize its outdated visa policy, noting that Nigeria only reciprocates on visa fees, not access or duration.

He added that countries like Ghana, Morocco, Kenya, and Qatar have recently reformed their visa policies to attract more visitors, suggesting Nigeria should follow suit.
