The State Department says visa policies remain “subject to ongoing review” and may change
The United States has announced sweeping changes to its non-immigrant visa policy for Cameroon, Ethiopia and Nigeria, cutting the duration and conditions under which most travellers from those countries can enter.
The US Department of State says nearly all non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas issued to citizens of the three countries will now be single-entry and valid for only three months.
It says this is part of a “global reciprocity realignment”, a sharp shift from previous visa terms, which often allowed for multiple entries over two years or more.
Nigeria has denied reports that it only offers single-entry e-visas for three months to US citizens.
