 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism.

ROME: ITALY HEATWAVE TO EASE SLIGHTLY AT FERRAGOSTO. (PHOTO).


 Rome, Italy heatwave to ease slightly at Ferragosto


Italy's long heatwave will ease slightly at the Ferragosto mid-August national holiday for the Catholic Feast of the Assumption but almost record-high temperatures will only fall by 2-3°C, weatherman Lorenzo Tedici said Tuesday.


He said the muggy 'afa' that has meant sleepless nights for many will let up a bit with temperatures falling from 39 to 36°C. "The boiling African heat will be a little less hellish from Ferragosto on," said Tedici.


Meanwhile, after the mercury in Florence hit 41°C on Sunday and Monday, temperatures will still be that high Tuesday in inland areas of Sardinia, he said.


  In northern Italy, too, Forlì will see 40°C while thermometers will register 38-39° in Ferrara, Florence, Foggia, Lecce, Oristano, Prato, Reggio Emilia, Siracusa, Trento and Verona.


Wednesday, the eve of Ferragosto, will see continued weltering conditions with peaks of 39°C in the south, and 38° at Ferrara and Forlì, while Florence will register 37°C. "On Ferragosto, cooler air from France will bring temperatures down a tad and the afa will loosen its grip," said Tedici.
