No, but then you're suspicious. And the embassy can refuse your visa application on the basis that you're suspicious.
Only if visa fees are refundable, then they won't refuse people visa coz they claim they don't own social media accounts.

I don't even know why it's called visa fees and you end up not getting the visa.

Someone should answer this pls and what if you don't post anything on your social or your name doesn't tally with your real name.

President Tinubu should call them to order. That is invasion of our privacy

Simple solution

Don't have any social media accounts

The ones already opened, close them.

There's no law that says you must have SM account.
Only email is what is necessary
This means they won't issue you any visa because it shows you're not telling the truth. There's no one who is learned enough to seek US Visa in this 2025, who will not possess at least one social media account.

This is actually true for almost every territory. The endgame is to deny you a visa if you’ve ever criticized US foreign policy, especially regarding the actions of the State of Israel. This looks like what a dying empire does, not “democracy.”
Haa, so someone like me that was rooting for Iran when they were retaliating have no chance of getting visa if I applied?


Make I go check my Facebook activity log o😂

They are even being considerate to tell them to remove it. Normally, that’s one major reason many people got denied in the past.

LOL at some of you.

You don't have to be for Palestine or Iran to earn Western antagonism.

Just talk about Africa and the need to do things for and by ourselves.

Then, you'll earn Western antagonism towards you.
Don't mind them. Trump just said any country in support on BRICS will attract 10% tarrif. You just have to ask yourself why?
Is it now a crime for countries to come together for common interests? What exactly is going on?

It's actually a visa application processing fee. They use resources to investigate your application, whether it will be approved in the end or not. That's why you always pay.

Nigeria is already on the list of Americas enemy for supporting BRICS….Tinubu is just looking to be popular without caring about Nigerians …All BRICS members are countries that have a good economy and can do without United States even South Africa ….we will see where this power drunk BAT is pushing Nigeria to and his supporters will be the first to be affected because they are averagely as selfish as he is

. Donald Trump wants Nigerians to sound like the guy above to get a visa and escape the Tinubu government.
Trump knows that 80% of Nigerians are willing to relocate if given the opportunity

To me o o..it's more of checking ur background if you you are living a double life.. pretending to be who you nt, also if you been married before n claiming that you r nt married or that you been in abroad before claiming that you nt... It's a whole lot of information that they will dig up
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by DuttyChuks: 3:22pm On Jul 08, 2025
I will open a new facebook account and delete the old one.
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by Nobody: 3:23pm On Jul 08, 2025
Just deactivate your account and claim you have none.

Simple as ABC

Or just deactivate and claim you not into social media
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by mariovito(m): 3:25pm On Jul 08, 2025
What happens in a case where an applicant does not have social media presence?

All of these are mere formalities.

And deleting an old account may not help much.

Who owns Facebook and the major SM?

Americans.

And you think the visa office won't have some access to backend data?

What is the difference between the West (USA in this case) and Idi Amin who once remarked:

“ There is freedom of speech but I can’t guarantee your freedom after speech”

It's not.

For example, the countries that use VFS or TLSContact for visa processing, you pay visa processing fee of about 51k and also pay the visa fee of the country which is about 160k upwards.

I did this for Belgium and France, so I know

If you claim not to have a social media account and they conduct a search which reveals that you actually do have a social media account be aware that that is grounds to deny your application for visa because it means you were not truthful when you were filing the application form.

Someone who lied about his social media account probably also lied about other things undecided

They can quickly find that out and if they do, automatic cancellation, a quick google search will show your information. That linkedin is the biggest scam ever. I will delete my profile there.

They hate independence outside the borders of Europe and America. It's still the same old game to colonize others.

America na one shitty country right now, it's only people from poor third-world African country like Nigeria that are considering US, most developed countries have issued travelled advisories to their citizens about the US and trips are being canceled in millions.

You can't pay me enough to visit that dumpster fire of a country right now so you can shine your teeth all you want.

Well if Nigeria government was able to use our own resources to develop the country, all this insult would have been avoided.....
Though it's desirable of our government to spent our money judiciously but this one has little or nothing to do with that, migration is not solely about poverty,we have many citizens from a wealthy nations migrating to other countries because of one reason or the other.

A serious nation must beware of strangers entering its territory.
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by Gbagura: 3:45pm On Jul 08, 2025
Rules are meant for the poor and unfortunate. They know who they sanction especially those who are so desperate to travel to the USA. Besides, USA isn't the only country on earth. Nigeria govt should also respond by scrutinizing every Americans entering Nigeria, diplomats or otherwise. We are a sovereign nation under God or aren't we?
