The United Arab Emirates has stopped approving visas to Nigerians and has directed that all previously submitted applications should be put on hold.
VOP news gathered that about 500 stranded Nigerians in Dubai would be evacuated back home by the Federal Government and were expected to arrive at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Saturday.
Dubai Immigration, in the notice to its trade partners in Nigeria, which include travel agents, also stated that “all Dubai applications submitted are now rejected.”
The travel agent stated that the new order would be due to the concerns between the Nigerian and UAE governments, as no reason was given by Dubai authorities for the visa application ban.
