Nigeria Protests US Visa Clampdown as UAE and UK Tighten Travel Rules

Nigeria Protests US Visa Clampdown as UAE and UK Tighten Travel Rules

Nigeria’s Federal Government has raised serious concern over the US decision to limit Nigerian non‑immigrant B1/B2, F, and J visas to single-entry three-month validity, urging a policy review “in the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation”

This move comes hot on the heels of the UAE’s tightening of rules: transit visas are now banned, unmarried Nigerians aged 18–45 need a sponsor for tourist visas, and applicants 45+ must present six months of bank statements showing at least $10,000 monthly balance.

Meanwhile, the UK is transitioning most Nigerian study and work visas to digital e-visas from July 15, phasing out traditional passport stickers.

Foreign Affairs spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa warned these new restrictions “disproportionately burden Nigerian students, professionals, families, and cultural exchanges” and are out of step with “reciprocity, equity, and mutual respect” guiding bilateral relations.

In response, the Nigerian government has launched diplomatic engagement, with Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and Nigeria Immigration Service officials meeting US Ambassador Richard Mills Jr. to seek a fair resolution.
