# The US embassy in Nigeria has announced temporary-stay visas for Nigerian citizens visiting the United States are now limited to three months. It was the latest of a series of travel bans or restrictions announced by Washington, many of them affecting African countries. Previously, Nigerians wishing to travel to the US could obtain visas of varying duration depending on the purpose of the visit. President Donald Trump last month imposed travel bans on nationals from 12 countries, most of them African, citing national security concerns and inadequate vetting procedures.
