Di United States don warn Nigerians wey get dual citizenship make dem no use dia foreign passport when entering or leaving di kontri. Di warning come from di US mission inside Nigeria, wey say dis one affect even dem wey get electronic travel authorization (ESTA).
According to di mission, any person wey get US passport must use only dat one for travel to America. No be say you go use your Nigerian passport to apply for ESTA — dat one no go work. Di authorities dey check every document well well before dem allow you board or enter.
Plus dat one, di mission remind travellers say plenty kontris dey demand say passport must get at least six months validity before entry. So if your passport near expire, make you renew am before you plan any international trip.
For some big US airports like Dallas, Atlanta, New York, and New Jersey, di immigration people don start to block those wey carry expired or invalid passport. Even if you get ticket and reservation, if your passport no meet di requirements, dem fit deny you entry before you reach border control.
But dere be one small hope: If you get valid visa inside expired passport, you fit still use am as long as you also carry your new valid passport. Dis rule dey apply for all di airports wey dem mention.
Di authorities dey remind everybody say before any international travel, make you check your passport validity and di type of document wey you fit use. No be say you go just pack comot — dem go check you at di airport and even for di immigration desk.
