Good afternoon ladies and gents. I must sincerely say that this forum had helped a lot of people in the past and still helping. I must confess that I am one of dudes who always love to visit this site and gather information that is helpful. Kudos to the initiator and may he or she continue to grow in wisdom Amen.

(1) I was told that officers at MM1 (muritala int airport, Lagos), can be strict. What are the likely things they sight and ask.

(2) when can I book for flight ticket, is it after the visa is out or before the visa is out.

(3) from what time to what time can I start the procession of my uae visa.

50k is too small if you want to enjoy yourself in Dubai. Wouldn't you want to ride ATVs, ziplines, bungee jump, skydiving, snorkeling or camel riding? What fun is it traveling all the way to Dubai and choosing to stay in your hotel all day? You should budget like 400k for that length of time just for leisure, and if you don't spend it all, that's okay. Also, have some dirharams as tip.

If you are traveling with a virgin passport, expect the guys at the airport to harass you. It is better to settle them than trying to prove right and missing your flight.

Jez! my BP just raise as I see the #400k for pocket money. Please brother encourage me. Your advice is cool but that amount is heart breaking for me. I am only going their to have my passport stamped. Building on my travel history. I don't think I need all those stuff you mentioned above. I am cool with eatery

As for the passport, I have used it when i went to Ghana in January. Hope its cool?


Thank u so much for ur advice. Looking forward to hear from the other gurus in the house. May God bless you all

I have a question.
Can someone enjoy himself in Dubai for four or five days as opposed to a week or two?
How long is the journey via flight.

Please bro, I asked a question coz I do not know. I expected you to answer if you know. And not this question.

Thank you
