The United Arab Emirates(UAE) Embassy in Abuja said the country’s visa policy has not changed, debunking reports in the media that it has suspended issuing three-month visa to Nigerian visitors.
An embassy source clarified that the 90-day or 60-day visa is not meant for tourists, but it is issued only to those going to the country for business.
Tourists, the official said, are entitled to 14-day visa.
The Embassy on Thursday on its Twitter handle @UAEEmbassyNGR said; “In the light of the press report published this morning (Thursday 4/4/2019) alleging that the United Arab Emirates has suspended issuing tourist Visa to Nigerian nationals, the United Arab Emirates Embassy in Abuja would like to announce these news are inaccurate and stresses the importance of sourcing news from its official channel”.
