Again the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has slammed a visa ban on Nigerians seeking to visit Dubai. The ban was conveyed in a notice issued to the country’s trade partners in Nigeria, including travel agents. Sadly no reason was given for the drastic measure employed by the UAE.
This is coming weeks after the country tightened visa process to prospective visitors to the country.
In the latest decision which also affects virtually all black African nations, the UAE authorities in the notice said, “All Dubai applications submitted are now rejected”, adding that the rejections will be sent in batches.
The rejections, according to the notice, “are general for Nigerians and approvals are on hold at the moment.”
It equally specified that there would be no refund for rejected applications.
”Kindly advise your clients to resubmit C2=A0 applications when the issue is resolved between both governments”, the notice to the Nigerian travel agents further declared.
