The Nigerian government announced on Monday that an agreement has been reached with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), allowing Nigerians to once again obtain visas for travel to the Arab nation.
This announcement, made by Information Minister Mohammed Idris on July 15th, 2024, follows a period of restrictions that had halted visa applications.
According to Idris, the agreement is effective immediately, meaning Nigerians can begin applying for UAE visas as of July 15, 2024.
The Minister did not provide specifics about the updated visa application process, though Emirates Airlines announced the resumption of flights to Lagos starting October 1st, 2024 in May.
