Nigeria: Full List - UAE Imposes Fresh Travel Conditions On Nigerians, Bans Transit Visa, Others

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, JUL 9 – The UAE now bars Nigerians aged 18-45 from solo tourist visas and requires those over 45 to show $10,000 monthly bank balances, aiming to reduce Nigerian travel significantly.

  • The United Arab Emirates imposed new visa restrictions on Nigerians, banning transit visa applications and limiting tourist visas as of Tuesday.
  • These steps come almost a year after the UAE ended its suspension of visa issuance to Nigerians that had been in place for two years, although strict entry requirements remain in effect.
  • Under the new rules, Nigerians aged 18 to 45 cannot apply for tourist visas unless traveling with someone, while applicants 45 and older must submit a six-month bank statement.
  • Applicants must submit a Nigerian personal bank statement covering the past six months, with each month’s closing balance not less than USD 10,000 or the corresponding amount in naira, along with other required documents such as hotel bookings and passport information pages.
  • Travel agents predict these policies will significantly reduce Nigerian travel to the UAE, especially impacting younger solo travelers visiting Dubai for tourism or business.
