The United Arab Emirates’ immigration authorities stated that all applications are halted until problems between the UAE government and the Nigerian government are resolved, yet no explanation for the visa restriction was provided.
It said;
“All filed applications for Dubai have been denied. It is universal for Nigerians, and approvals are now being postponed.
Please advise your clients to file new C2=A0 applications once the dispute has been settled between the two governments.
A source from the travel service Wakanow reportedly verified the development to Punch. The source reported;
“Yes, it was released yesterday. Although the Dubai immigration department could not specify when the suspension will end, everything is currently on hold.
However, an Air Peace customer service agent claimed that the airline continues to transport passengers to Dubai who already possess a valid visa. The official further stated that any modifications to the flight schedule for Nigerians would be properly announced.
