Nigeria TV Info reports that the Federal Government has voiced serious concern over the recent decision by the United States to impose stricter visa rules on Nigerian citizens. The FG described the move as disproportionate and urged the U.S. to reconsider in the spirit of mutual respect and international cooperation. This comes amid similar measures by the United Arab Emirates, which has now banned transit visa applications entirely for Nigerians. As per new directives from Dubai immigration, Nigerians aged 18 to 45 are no longer eligible for tourist visas unless accompanied, while those above 45 must present a six-month personal bank statement showing a minimum monthly balance of $10,000 to qualify. Meanwhile, the British High Commission in Abuja has also updated its immigration process for Nigerians seeking study and work visas. The U.S. Department of State, on Tuesday, announced that beginning July 8, 2025, most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas issued to Nigerians will be valid for only three months and for a single entry. This includes visa categories such as B1/B2 (business/tourism), F (student), and J (exchange visitor).
