The Federal Government of Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed an agreement to resume visa issuance for Nigerian passport holders wishing to travel to the UAE. This development marks the end of a visa issuance suspension that had impacted Nigerian travelers.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced the agreement while briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday. He confirmed that the new visa policy takes immediate effect.
Idris stated, “Nigeria has been in discussions with the United Arab Emirates regarding visas for Nigerian passport holders traveling to the UAE. Today, an agreement has been reached, and effective from today, July 15th, Nigerian passport holders can obtain visas to travel to the UAE.
“Further details will be provided later today in an official statement. However, I can confirm that the agreement is now in place, and Nigerian passport holders intending to travel to the UAE can proceed with their plans.”
