Fresh Conditions For Nigerians To Enter Dubai

Nigerians are finding it very hard to get into Dubai.

This is in the face of newly introduced conditions.

Inability to meet the conditions has seen many Nigerians turned back despite having valid travel documents, their passports seized and in some cases the travelers detained.

‘‘What the Dubai authorities have done is this, they have made the visa processes more stringent. If you are below 30, there is no visa for you; it is so difficult. They make it so stringent that you won’t be able to fulfil it; it does not matter who you are.

‘‘Secondly, if you are going to Dubai now, you have to provide a six-month bank statement, you have your ticket, and you must show proof of accommodation where you are going to stay. If you lie about where you are going to stay, they are going to know, so they are going to turn you back,” Abike Dabiri, the chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) put things in context during an appearance on Arise T.V.
