Visa Overstay: US threatens Nigerian violators with permanent ban
The United States government has issued a stern warning to Nigeria travelers about the severe consequences of overstaying their visa.
The US Mission in Nigeria in a post via its X on Monday emphased that violators could face permanent bans from re-entering the country.
The immigration authorities have clarified that consular officers can access an individual’s full immigration history, making it nearly impossible to avoid penalties for past violations.
They further emphasised that travelers are responsible for adhering to the terms of their visa and that ignorance of visa regulations will not be accepted as an excuse.
The post read, “If you overstay your US visa, you could face a permanent ban on traveling to the United States. Consular officers have full access to your immigration history and will know about past violations. There is no such thing as an “honest mistake” – it is your responsibility to use your visa correctly.”
