The U.S. Mission has increased visitor visa validity from 24 months to 60 months for Nigerians that wish to enter the United States temporarily for business and/or tourism.
The development was announced by United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard. While making the announcement, she tweeted: “I’m thrilled to announce that, beginning March 1, tourist visas for Nigerians will be valid for five years, instead of the previous two-year validity.”
The extension allows Nigerians to use the U.S. visa for 60 months to make short trips to the United States for tourism or business purposes before renewing their visa.
The visa application fee which currently stands at USD160, will not increase as a result of the increased visa validity.
