The federal government says it has reached an agreement with the United States on an extension of tourist visa validity for both countries to five years.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Friday by Sola Fasure, spokesperson to Rauf Aregbesola<\/a>, minister of interior, the federal government said the new policy applies to tourist visas, as well as visas for diplomats and government officials.<\/p>\n

The new policy, said to be the result of bilateral consular agreements between Nigeria and the US, is expected to take effect from March 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federal Government of Nigeria has directed the full implementation of a new visa reciprocity policy for citizens of the United States of America with effect from 1st March, 2023,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, gave the directive following the approval for the implementation of the new Bilateral Consular Policy Agreements between the governments of Nigeria and the United States of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreements amongst others include: The reciprocity of five (5) year tourist visa validity for American citizens pursuant to Section 30 of the Immigration Act, 2015; and extension of visa validity to three (3) years for diplomats and government officials between the citizens of Nigeria and the United States of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the Minister of Interior has directed the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, to start the implementation of the policy from 1st March 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians will recall that President Muhammadu Buhari launched the new Nigeria Visa Policy (NPV) in 2020, which amongst other things promotes tourism. Tourist Visa falls under the Short Visit Visa (F5A) category. This policy is in line with Mr. President\u2019s desire to boost cultural exchange and business between both nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the Bilateral Agreement, the United States of America will implement a similar policy for Nigerians wishing to travel on Tourist Visas to the United States and for our diplomats and officials visiting the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States will thus extend Tourist Visa Validity for Nigerian citizens to five (5) years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US tourist visa validity for Nigerians is currently for 24 months, while the short visit visa (F5A) for persons interested in coming to Nigeria for tourism purposes is \u201cvalid for not more than 90 days from the date of issuance\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
