UAE Lift Visa Ban On Nigerians
The government of the United Arab Emirates, UAE, has officially removed the Visa ban that had been placed on Nigerians, starting right away.
Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced this development on Monday during a briefing with reporters from State House following a meeting of the Federal Executive Council chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
Idris disclosed that an agreement had been reached between the Federal Government and the authorities in the UAE to end the travel barriers that had been in place for Nigerians.
He informed the public that Nigerians holding passports can now travel to the UAE without facing any obstacles.
Additionally, Idris encouraged Nigerians looking for information on the new visa requirements for the UAE to visit documentverificationhub.ae for more information.
His statement reads: “I can tell you that the agreement has been reached and effective from today, Nigerian passport holders intending to travel to the UAE are able to do so.
“You are aware that Nigeria has been discussing with the United Arab Emirates the issue of visas for Nigerian passport holders going to the United Arab Emirates.
Don’t miss out on any real-time information. Join our WhatsApp group to stay updated.
“Today, an agreement has been reached on that, and effective from today 15th July, Nigerian passport holders are able to obtain visas to go to the United Arab Emirates.
“Details of that will be provided to you later today when we put out a statement.”
It could be recalled that the UAE implemented a visa restriction on Nigeria due to multiple diplomatic conflicts.
It’s worth noting that the UAE placed a visa ban on Nigeria just over two years back due to various diplomatic disagreements.
Moreover, Emirates Airlines from Dubai stopped its flights to Nigeria because the Central Bank of Nigeria failed to return an anticipated $85 million in earnings to the UAE.
In June, after numerous discussions with the UAE’s authorities, the Federal Government of Nigeria promised Nigerians that the visa ban would be lifted shortly.
Around the same time, the Nigerian government declared that it had settled 98 per cent of the $850 million debt.
