US Embassy in Nigeria Begins Revoking Previously Issued Visas, Disrupting Travel Plans

Published on 1 September 2025 at 17:23

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has reportedly begun revoking visas that were previously granted to Nigerian citizens, leaving professionals, entrepreneurs, frequent travellers, and families facing disrupted plans and mounting costs. Reports indicate that affected individuals, who had relied on the validity of their visas for business trips, education, and family visits, are now confronting unexpected cancellations and logistical challenges.

While the embassy has not issued a formal explanation, experts suggest that such revocations may relate to tightened security protocols, compliance checks, or administrative reviews of visa holders. Historically, U.S. consulates reserve the right to rescind visas if new information arises or if holders are found in breach of visa terms. However, the current wave of revocations has raised concerns over communication and transparency, as many Nigerians report receiving minimal notice or guidance.

The sudden development has intensified calls for clearer processes and improved communication between the U.S. Embassy and Nigerian travellers. Stakeholders emphasize the need for timely notification and support mechanisms to prevent financial loss and undue hardship for individuals and families affected by these revocations.
