Traveling 2 9ja in regards to my visa...

[Bisola 2011 16]

Hey my fellow 9ja VJers!

I have my tourist visa (valid for 3 months), single entry. It recently expired, wondering if it can be renewed... I've searched a lil on the consulate/embassy site and haven't quite got the answer. Has anyone done this? If so, please advise. Or will I need to simply reapply? I know there are certain conditions for a multi-entry tourist visa, i dont think i qualify. Thanks in advance...

Moved from K-1 topic to Tourist visas as this is a question about tourist visas and not K-1.

You will have to reapply for a a new visa since it is single entry

You will have to reapply. You shouldn't have any problems getting a multi-entry visa, but they are only valid for one year and are twice the cost. So, unless you plan more than one trip in a year it may not be worth it.

for Nigeria it is the same cost for single and multiple entry visa. in fact it is just visitors visa, meaning it is not like the UK system which has general visitor visa, premium visitor etc and each type has different fees.

for the U.S. the validity of your visa is at the sole discretion of the consular officer....few months or the maximum which is 2years.

Guess that's changed since the last time I got a Visitor Visa for Nigeria! It's been a few years though, as I have a Nigerwife Residency Visa now. Happy Travels! I just had to reschedule my trip for tomorrow as the strikes are wrecking havoc with the international flights, etc. I'm going to try again for early February.

Omgosh! Yes I've heard about the strikes. We just have to keep them in our prayers. My honey was mentioning to me the govt has made threats to cut off their communication. No incoming or outgoing calls. What more could they possible do to them. So horrible!!! Everybody please please please we gotta pray this ends peacefully and soon! Safe travels to you as well! I'm planning for february also in hopes my NOA2 arrives timely...

Usually a B2 is issued for 10 years.

Not for Nigerians...Ghanians are more likely to get that even though I hear it is changing for them too. B2s are usually issued for 2 years

If you use Traveldocs they approve mulitiple entry for same price as single. Nigerian visas are only good for 6 months. I got mine in July it expired in January. I was able to visit in Aug and Dec without issue.
