NCS warns Nigerians on US Visa Compliance.

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has alerted Nigerians to concerns raised by the US government regarding the misuse of entry visas. 

The NCS, in a statement signed on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Abdullahi Maiwada, urged Nigerians to comply with the stated purpose of travel and visa classification, as US authorities continuously monitor visa holders' activities.

The Service reminded Nigerians traveling to the US to declare excess cash above $10,000 or its equivalent and ensure prohibited items are not included in their baggage. 

Nigerians have also been encouraged to be law-abiding citizens and aware that fraud committed in any jurisdiction will face legal consequences under both US and Nigerian laws.

The NCS said it is working with the US Mission in Abuja to ensure Nigeria meets the necessary criteria to avoid an expanded visa ban, which would deny entry to well-meaning Nigerians wishing to travel to the US for lawful business endeavors.
