The United States of America has announced that starting March 1, 2023, it would increase visitor visa validity from 24 months to 60 months for Nigerians who want to enter the United States temporarily for business and/or tourism.

It disclosed this in a press statement released yesterday, adding that the visa application fee, currently at $160, would not increase as a result of the increased visa validity.

The statement noted that increasing visa validity was one of several initiatives taken by the United States to reduce visa appointment wait times in Nigeria. It also noted that the US Mission continues to offer No-Interview Visa Renewals to those who meet the eligibility criteria, adding that appointments for No-Interview Visa Renewals were readily available.

The statement further noted that applicants could visit the US embassy website for further information, adding that if an applicant was qualified based on criteria on the website, they could start the application on the dedicated website.
