hehehehe.....Nigerians are at risk of losing American entry visas which have two-year validity except President Muhammadu Buhari led government change existing immigration policy with the United States.
An indication of this emerged yesterday as content on the Executive Order signed on Friday by US President Donald Trump became public.
“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…”
Currently, Nigeria issues one-year multiple-entry visa to Americans, which is a non-reciprocation of the two-year visa US issues to Nigerians.
As Trump order takes immediate effect, Nigerians holding valid two-year US visa may also be affected.
While the US charges Nigerians $160 for a typical visit visa, Nigeria charges $180, in addition to a $35 “processing fee”.
Meanwhile, Iran has announced that it will ban all United States citizens from entering the country.
This was contained in an Iranian Foreign Ministry statement published on state media Saturday.
