A Latest report has confirmed that the United States is planning a major restructuring of its visa services in Africa, reducing the number of embassies and consulates authorized to process visa applications from nearly 50 to just 20 regional hubs.
The move, approved by Marco Rubio, is part of the Trump administration’s effort to tighten immigration controls and streamline consular operations across the continent. Liberia is among the select countries that will retain full visa-processing services, with the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia designated as one of the 20 regional visa hubs.
The countries expected to retain visa-processing authority include Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Ethiopia, South Africa, Senegal, Tanzania, Djibouti, Uganda, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Togo, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Mauritius, Cape Verde and Cameroon.
The decision positions Liberia as one of the few African nations that will continue offering direct U.S. visa-processing services, potentially making Monrovia a key regional destination for visa applicants.
