The United States Mission in Nigeria has reminded Nigerians who also hold American citizenship that they are required to use a valid United States passport when entering or leaving the US.

In an advisory shared on its official X account on Sunday, the mission said the requirement applies to all US citizens, including children who hold dual nationality.

According to the mission, American citizens with dual nationality are not permitted to use their foreign passports to apply for travel authorisation under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization.

“U.S. citizens are REQUIRED to enter and depart the United States on a U.S. passport. This requirement applies equally to U.S. citizens, including children, who are dual nationals,” the mission stated.

It warned that the US Department of Homeland Security routinely denies or cancels ESTA applications submitted by dual-national US citizens using foreign passports.

“Dual national U.S. citizens may NOT use their foreign passport to apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). The Department of Homeland Security routinely denies or cancels ESTAs for dual national U.S. citizens,” the statement added.

The mission also advised American citizens and nationals living abroad, including those residing in Nigeria, to ensure their US passports are valid before making travel plans to the United States.

“If you are a U.S. citizen or national and live abroad and plan to travel to the United States, make sure you do so with a valid U.S. passport. If your U.S. passport is expired or expires soon, renew before your trip,” it said.

The mission further reminded travellers that many countries require passports to have at least six months’ validity before entry is allowed.

The advisory is aimed at helping dual-national citizens avoid travel disruptions at immigration checkpoints and ensure compliance with US entry and exit requirements.
