US Excludes UK, Nigeria, Others From Visa-Free Entry For 2025

The United States, on Monday, released the list of eligible countries for its 2025 Visa Waiver Programme.

The United Kingdom was excluded from the programme but remains eligible under specific conditions.

The list also does not include any African countries, such as Nigeria, Ghana, or South Africa.

While most of the VWP list remains unchanged, the addition of Romania marks a significant update.

The US has also focused on enhancing security checks and prioritising countries with strong diplomatic ties and border security standards.

According to the US Bureau of Consular Affairs website, the Visa Waiver Programme allows most citizens or nationals of participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa.
