The United Arab Emirates’ government’s ban on Nigerians obtaining visas was recently lifted, according to the Federal Government. Following President Bola Tinubu’s Federal Executive Council meeting, Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris revealed that a deal had been made in a conversation with State House media.
“I can confirm that an agreement has been reached, and as of right now, holders of Nigerian passports who want to visit the UAE can do so,” Idris stated. Owing to a number of diplomatic issues, the UAE banned Nigerians from entering the country two years ago.
Because the Central Bank of Nigeria was unable to transfer an estimated $85 million in income to the United Arab Emirates, Emirates Airline of Dubai likewise ceased operations in Nigeria.
The ministry requested that Nigerians who would like more information about the revised requirements for UAE visas visit documentverificationhub.ae in light of the current developments. This article from Bizwatch Nigeria describes how Nigerians can apply for a UAE visa step-by-step:
