UAE VISA IS AVAILABLE FOR NIGERIANS AGAIN STARTING ON JULY 15TH

Following the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information, briefed State House media on Monday. “An agreement was achieved allowing for the return of travel to the UAE for Nigerian passport holders, following successful conversations and protracted, mutually beneficial negotiations between the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Government of the United Arab Emirates,” he added.

Updated regulations and requirements are included in this agreement to make it easier to get a UAE visa. “Visas will be available again starting on July 15, 2024.” The minister also mentioned that Nigerians should visit the UAE’s website to find out more about the most recent visa requirements.

The declaration was made more than two years after the UAE stopped issuing visas to Nigerians as a result of a protracted diplomatic spat with the country that has the largest population in Africa. It also occurs around two months after Emirates Airlines, the official airline of the United Arab Emirates, declared the start of new flights to Nigeria.

The airline announced in May that it would start operating daily flights from Lagos to Dubai on October 1, 2024.
