Visa Renewal

Non-immigrant visa applicants may renew business, tourist, student, exchange, crew, or temporary employment visas if the following conditions are met:

1. The visa to be renewed is a full-validity (24-month) multiple-entry visa.
2. The visa to be renewed should be of the same visa class and should be still valid or expired no more than 12 months ago.
3. The required application forms are completely filled. If you meet the criteria for applying for the quota of Visa Renewal Appointment and are able to produce the previous valid visa at the time of the visa interview, you may proceed to schedule a visa renewal appointment on this website.

Steps to Proceed:


Pay application fee. With rare exceptions, every applicant, including children, must pay a non-refundable US $ 140 application fee in NGN equivalent at Consular Current Exchange Rate and VFS's service fee N 5800 inclusive of bank charges and VAT at UBA Plc. Carry a photocopy of your current passport (first and the last page) for procuring a payment receipt.


Return to this website and click on "How do I Apply for a Non Immigrant Visa" - "Schedule an Appointment" link after the fees have been paid. You will need to use your passport number and receipt purchase date from your UBA Plc MRV Fee Receipt towards VFS service charges to schedule an appointment.


During the process of scheduling an appointment, you will reach 'Purpose of Travel' page where you will be asked:

1. Have you been refused a visa twice within the last 12 months?
2. Have you been issued a full validity visa (2 years) which is valid or has expired less than 12 months ago?

You will be required to do self validity and based on the data submitted, you will be directed to a special interview appointment slot for visa renewal applicants.


Report to the U.S. Embassy /Consulate on the appointed date and time of your visa interview. You will need to bring your printed appointment letter, DS-160 confirmation page, 2 recent photographs (taken within the last 6 months), current and all old passports and the original UBA Plc MRV fee receipt towards U.S. visa application for $140. Applications without all of the above and the original UBA Plc MRV fee receipt or with an incorrect photograph will NOT be accepted.
