The United States Mission in Nigeria says Nigerian visa applicants must disclose all social media usernames and handles used over the past five years in their visa applications.
The U.S. Mission in Nigeria made this known via a statement shared on X on Monday, August 18, 2025.
It noted that Nigerian visa applicants must provide a comprehensive list of their social media profiles on the DS-160 visa application form.
The U.S. Mission warned that omitting the information could lead to visa denials and ineligibility for future United States visas.
