The United Arab Emirates (UAE) immigration authorities have announced a ban on visa applications from Nigerians.
In a notice issued on Friday to its trade partners in Nigeria, including travel agents, the Dubai authorities said that “all Dubai applications submitted are now rejected”.
The UAE government said rejection notices would be sent in batches to applicants.
It said the rejections “are general for Nigerians and Approvals are on hold at the Moment”.
The UAE government said the suspension would hold pending the resolution of issues between it and the Nigerian government.
“Kindly advise your clients to resubmit applications when the issue is resolved between both governments”, the notice reads.
The development comes over a month after the UAE stopped issuing tourist visas to persons under the age of 40, affecting Nigerians as well as other countries.
