The image above displays a "BREAKING" news graphic featuring Donald Trump and a statement claiming: "Effective today, most nonimmigrant & non-official visas for Nigerian citizens will be single-entry with 3-month validity."
Based on information available as of today, Wednesday, July 9, 2025, this claim appears to be accurate and has been officially announced.
Here's what the recent news indicates:
* Effective Date: The new policy for Nigerian citizens' non-immigrant visas, specifically changing them to single-entry with a three-month validity, became effective on July 8, 2025.
* Reciprocity Policy: The U.S. Department of State has stated that this change is part of an update to its "reciprocal non-immigrant visa policy." This suggests the policy change is influenced by Nigeria's visa policies for U.S. citizens.
* Scope: The change affects "most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas" issued to Nigerian citizens.
* Existing Visas: Visas issued before July 8, 2025, are expected to retain their status.
