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 travel restrictions on Nigerians, banning transit visa applications and setting tourist visa conditions as of a recent Tuesday.
  • These measures were introduced following the UAE’s decision to end its restrictions on Nigerian travelers, which had been in place for two years and lifted about a year ago, but were accompanied by tighter entry requirements.
  • Nigerians aged 18 to 45 traveling alone cannot apply for tourist visas, while applicants 45 or older must submit six months of Nigerian bank statements showing at least $10,000 monthly balances.
  • Applicants aged 45 years and older are required to submit a Nigerian personal bank statement covering the previous six months, with each month showing a minimum closing balance of USD 10,000, along with hotel booking confirmations and copies of passport information pages.
  • These new restrictions are expected to significantly reduce Nigerian travel to Dubai, affecting business and tourism traffic to this popular destination.
