Nigeria Makes U-turn On Visa Fees Increase For US Citizens
The Federal Government has announced downward review of visa charges payable by citizens of the United States of America.
The downward review followed the United States reciprocity of visa fees policy.
This was contained in a statement by Mohammed Manga, Director (Press & Public Relations) on behalf of Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola.
The statement reads, “The Ministry acknowledges that there were engagements with the United States Embassy on the issue and in the aftermath, a Committee was set up to conduct due diligence in line with the Ministry’s extant policy on reciprocity of Visa fees.
“The Committee had concluded its assignment and submitted a Report but the issuance of authorisation for its recommendations was delayed due to transition processes in the Ministry at the policy level.
“The Honourable Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has approved the decrease of Visa charges payable by US citizens in line with reciprocity policy as recommended by the Committee.
“Accordingly, the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede, has been directed to implement the decrease in Nigeria’s Visa charges to US Citizens to USD 160 with effect from Thursday, 29th August, 2019”.
