UAE DENIES $10k BANK BALANCE, N640k VISA FEE REQUIREMENTS FOR NIGERIANS
According to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Nigerians must have a $10,000 bank balance and pay an N640,000 application fee in order to be eligible for the visa.
Recall that on Monday, the Federal Government of Nigeria, represented by Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris, declared that the Federal Government and the authorities in the United Arab Emirates had achieved a consensus that would immediately lift travel restrictions placed on Nigerians.
The minister disclosed that holders of Nigerian passports can now enter the UAE without any problems.
In light of this latest change, the minister advised Nigerians interested in current information on UAE visa requirements to check out documentverificationhub.ae.
However, per the Cable, UAE’s department of economy and tourism said the DV hub website is not affiliated with the UAE government.
The Dubai’s general directorate of residency and foreigners’ affairs (GDRFAD) said, “You will need a personal photo and a copy of your passport which must not have less than six months validity,” the GDRFAD said, while explaining the process for a visa application.
“A tourist visa costs about 200-300 dirhams (N60,000 – 90,000) depending on the stay.
“You will also need a travel ticket and valid medical insurance within the UAE,” the GDRFAD added.
