The United States has announced its plan to increase visitor visa validity for Nigerian nationals.
The US in a press release disclosed that starting from March 1, 2023, it will increase visitor visa validity from 24 months to 60 months for Nigerians who want to enter the country “temporarily for business and/or tourism.”
“The visa validity extension allows Nigerians to use the visa for 60 months to make short trips to the United States for tourism or business purposes before having to renew their visa” the statement indicated.
Meanwhile, the US has also confirmed that the visa application fee, which currently stands at $160, will not increase as a result of the increased visa validity.
