BREAKING: UAE Bans Visas for Nigerians aged 18-45 years
Specifically, the UAE has banned transit visas for Nigerians and introduced new eligibility requirements for tourist visas. For those aged 18-45, tourist visas are now restricted to those who are accompanied, while older applicants (45+) need to provide a bank statement showing a minimum balance of $10,000 USD per month for the past six months.
These changes follow a period of visa restrictions and diplomatic issues between the UAE and Nigeria, including a ban on Emirates flights to Nigeria. The UAE had previously lifted a 21-month visa ban on Nigerians, but these new restrictions indicate a continued tightening of travel policies.
