This is the UAE’s response to those reports that Nigerians are banned from visiting the country

The UAE has issued a response to the reports that the country banned Nigerians from visiting the country.

Following Hushpuppi’s arrest in Dubai for alleged fraud, a circular started circulating which stated that Nigerians were banned from visiting Dubai and were to leave if they did not have a valid visa.

In a statement, the UAE has denied the fact that this is exclusive to Nigerians. Amongst the precautionary methods during the Coronavirus pandemic was the halt on issuing visas to all nationalities from 17 March 2020.

The statement continued by saying that upon entering the recovery phase, the UAE, from 7 July started to relax some of its rules and allowed people from all nationalities to begin entering the country again. This includes Nigerians.

The statement reads:

“In response to recent press and social media reports regarding purported travel restrictions between the UAE and Nigeria, and in an affirmation of the growing bilateral relations between the two friendly countries, the UAE Embassy in Abuja denies the accuracy of the information contained in these reports.

“At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UAE took a number of precautionary measures to combat the virus’ spread, including the temporary suspension on issuing UAE visas for all nationalities as of March 17, 2020.

“After entering the recovery phase of the pandemic, the UAE eased some measures on July 7, permitting visitors from various countries to adhere to the necessary precautionary measures, including by showing negative PCR test results within 92 hours of travelling to the UAE. This includes those visiting from Nigeria.

“The UAE Embassy in Abuja continues to work closely with the Nigerian Government to obtain the necessary approvals to facilitate travel between the two countries.”
