UAE Bans Transit Visas, Tightens Entry Rules for Nigerians
The UAE has banned transit visa applications for Nigerians and introduced stricter tourist visa requirements.
Nigerians aged 18–45 are no longer eligible for tourist visas unless accompanied, while applicants aged 45+ must show a six-month bank statement with a monthly balance of at least $10,000. Travel agents say the new policy will significantly reduce Nigerian travel to Dubai.
