SHOCKING: Donald Trump torevoke 2-year visa for Nigerians

Donald Trump on Nigerian's VISA
There are fears that Nigerians will no
longer be issued with American entry visas
which have two-year validity.

This development is following the
Executive Order signed on Friday by
President Donald Trump.

Nigeria currently only issues one-year
multiple-entry visa to Americans, which
is a non-reciprocation of the two-year
visa the country issues to Nigerians.
Section 9 of the Executive Order states:

“The Secretary of State shall review all
nonimmigrant visa reciprocity
agreements to ensure that they are, with
respect to each visa classification, truly
reciprocal insofar as practicable with
respect to validity period and fees, as
required by sections 221(c) and 281 of
the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1201(c) and 1351, and
other treatment.

If a country does not treat United States
nationals seeking nonimmigrant visas
in a reciprocal manner, the Secretary of
State shall adjust the visa validity
period, fee schedule, or other treatment
to match the treatment of United States
nationals by the foreign country, to the
extent practicable…”

By this provision, except the federal
government quickly moves to extend the
validity of Nigerian visa to Americans,
Nigerians too will be issued with one-
year visas.
Nigeria is also not reciprocating the fees
charged by the American government
despite shorter visa validity.
