By Favour Ulebor, Abuja The United States mission has said visa rules may change as global security and diplomatic conditions evolve, assuring travellers that restrictions are not permanent. In a post obtained from its X account on Monday, the mission explained that visa regulations form part of a broader system aimed at ensuring safe and orderly travel across borders. It added that governments may adjust entry requirements as situations change, including shifts in security concerns and diplomatic relations. “Visa restrictions are not permanent, and travel policies are subject to review. Strengthening security and information-sharing standards for screening, vetting, identity management, and immigration makes all of us collectively safer,”
