Na small moni be that

eepeepook:
Nigerians will pay it. We’ll be online hating gays and still flood the embassies of these countries.

Like that is one that drives me crazy about Nigerians, you label everyone smoking Igbo as a bad influence but you are dying to travel to a country where it is legal to smoke igbo and you don't see those people as bad influence.

I don’t care

Oh no. Including Nigerian Christians?

nedekid:
Nigerians who really want to japa to the US to stay will not consider 15k as a deterrent, people that expect to gain that money back within months.

Na so e easy for someone on a tourist visa with no work permit or social security number to make $15k back in a few months, keep believing that.

We're gradually getting there...
Woe onto so called politicians who have smeared d image of this great nation...

RaptorX:
Even if you return before your visa expires, if they refuse to refund you what are you going to do, yes absolutely nothing. Your money don enter Trump pocket, you better use your money to enjoy your life in Nigeria instead of dashing America.

Is not possible for them not to refund the money because it is being backed law unless if the person flaunts some immigration rules why on visit in USA. There will be clear terms and conditions. Developed countries are not like Nigeria where anything goes.

Ironfaceman:
15000 dollars that means many supporters of Trump on nairaland will never visit America

Many supporters don't even know when their next meal is coming talk less of visa fee.

God will continue to kept the Elite buoyant. IJN

What of if the rulers do the right things and not politicizing rulership so that this country can be okay in order for Americans to come and be visiting us?

Greencloud:
Anybody with that amount but still running to the US has low iQ

Gbamsolutely...cosigned!

Christians too? ..... this can't be true. ,...how can he impose such on a people he confirmed are facing genocide and would be seeking political asylum? Is he no longer concerned?

Nothing panning nothing. I taught trump will make exemption for nairaland MAGA

Konquest:

You make sense with your point
Let's hope 2027 Nigerians will do the right thing.

I edited my comment, it didn't show on the one you quoted. I said based on some technicality, they will refuse to refund you and there is nothing you can do. For example you visited the hospital ER while in the US without paying your bills, you can forfeit your bond because of that

YES, it is to defend Christians in Nigeria.

For as long as there is a single Niger Deltan still breathing, America will never hae access to Niger Delta oil

Ghana escaped it

Helinuse:
It takes some low IQ to think that this justifies your assertion that people shouldn’t support Trump wiping Nigeria clean of Izlamic terrrorists.

Always boils down to Islam.

If you don't have Muslims to hate your life would have no relevance

Ironfaceman:
The United States has introduced new travel restrictions that could require Nigerians applying for B1/B2 visas to post bonds of up to $15,000.

According to information published on the US Department of State’s website, Travel.State.Gov, the payment of a bond does not guarantee visa issuance, adding that fees paid without the direction of a consular officer will not be refunded.

Of the listed Nations, African countries accounted for 24 of the 38, including Nigeria, in the updated list released by the US State Department on Tuesday.

Visa bonds are financial guarantees required by the US State Department for certain foreign nationals from countries classified as high-risk, who are applying for B1/B2 visas for business or tourism purposes.

The implementation dates vary by country, with Nigeria’s date set for January 21, 2026.

The Department of State said nationals from the listed countries have been identified as requiring visa bonds, with implementation dates shown in parentheses.

Countries affected include Algeria (21 January 2026), Angola (21 January 2026), Antigua and Barbuda (21 January 2026), Bangladesh (21 January 2026), Benin (21 January 2026), Bhutan (1 January 2026), Botswana (1 January 2026), Burundi (21 January 2026), Cabo Verde (21 January 2026), Central African Republic (1 January 2026), Côte d’Ivoire (21 January 2026), Cuba (21 January 2026), Djibouti (21 January 2026), Dominica (21 January 2026).

The rest are; Nigeria (21 January 2026), São Tomé and Príncipe (23 October 2025), Senegal (21 January 2026), Tajikistan (21 January 2026), Tanzania (23 October 2025), Togo (21 January 2026), Tonga (21 January 2026), Turkmenistan (1 January 2026), Tuvalu (21 January 2026), Uganda (21 January 2026), Vanuatu (21 January 2026), Venezuela (21 January 2026), Zambia (20 August 2025), and Zimbabwe (21 January 2026).

The directive states that, “Any citizen or national travelling on a passport issued by one of these countries, who is otherwise found eligible for a B1/B2 visa, must post a bond of $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000. The amount is determined during the visa interview.

“Applicants must also submit the Department of Homeland Security’s Form I-352. Applicants must also agree to the terms of the bond through the US Department of the Treasury’s online payment platform, Pay.gov. This requirement applies regardless of the place of application.”

It added that Visa holders who post bonds must enter the United States through designated airports, including Boston Logan International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport. Virginia.

Bonds will only be refunded when the Department of Homeland Security records the visa holder’s departure from the United States on or before the expiration of their authorised stay, when the applicant does not travel before the visa expires, or when a traveller applies for and is denied admission at a US port of entry.

This development follows the introduction of partial US travel restrictions on Nigeria a week earlier. Nigeria was among 15 mostly African countries, including Angola, Antigua, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, The Gambia and others that were placed under partial travel suspensions by the US government on 16 December.

In Nigeria’s case, the US cited the presence and operations of radical Islamic terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State in certain parts of the country, resulting in “substantial screening and vetting difficulties.”

An overstay rate of 5.56 per cent for B1/B2 visas and 11.90 per cent for F, M, and J visas was also cited as a justification for Nigeria’s inclusion. As a result, the travel suspension covered immigrant visas as well as non-immigrant categories, including B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M, and J visas.

We go pay no wahaha

Onlinetutor7:
Very good move by Trump. Let those third world countries elect good leaders instead of fleeing overseas after distablizing their country .

Why do you people think that anybody going to the US is fleeing, what sorts of low mentality is this?

You pay with sand sand abi.

drerocker:

Anyone with such amount won't go to US unless such a person is a politician.

I'm not in a position to advise any "ticket holder", if by that you mean the Nigerian politicians or president. America has the balls of your president in his hands so why would Americans beg to come visit Nigeria when America president can pull the strings of your president by a single policy or a stroke of a pen or a couple phone calls?

Sit tight, Trump is coming to save you all. Then American citizens will be "begging to come and visit Nigeria". In fact, Israel too has joined the Africa liberation movement. Nigeria will be USA on steroids by the time Trump and Netanyahu is done saving you all.

Does Trump follow the law?

Are documented immigrants not being tossed into prisons?

If for whatever reason your bond is withheld what can you really do about it?
