So if I may ask now how does what you just posted has to do with QATAR/UAE general visa enquiries? I know Nigerians do a lot out there, but we are not the only one, there is no country that doesn’t commit crime. Please let’s continue to talk about the things related to the topic in this trend, in order for us to help our fellow Nigerians, thank you for your comprehension.

Taofeek and asunmoGGMU have answered best. We need to change our behaviour, it is not helping the good and innocent at all. The look on foreigners face when you mention that you are a Nigerian here is downcasting many times. The conversation and reception just goes south. They become very suspicious if they are nice and polite.
I was in a bus this week, the RTA official came in to check who did not swipe card. Two people in the bus did not swipe and they are both Nigerians. They were speaking our local dialect so I know. And they were still trying to claim right and outsmart the official. Everyone was just looking at them like they fell from outside space. One other guy, I suppose he's a Nigerian left the bus either in disgust or fear. Because police can come and maybe carry all the black guys there. I was really ashamed for them. Their likes are everywhere trying to outsmart others in criminality and it doesn't help the innocent ones. We are tagged together, no visa for Nigerian, Nigerian should not apply. You will see accommodation and job saying African nationality may apply except Nigerians.

For what?

We've done it again. My heart just dey pound gbam gbam as dem dey mention Nigeria for every sentence. To be fair though, the incident happened last year November but the news is yesterday.

So she should have no dignity or decency because she wants to marry?

debola33:
All of you saying mummy's boy so the excuse the guy gave is not ok? Instead of wasting money for rent won't it be better the man divert such money to building thier own house? The truth is most ladies don't want thier husband mother around them, forgetting one day you too will become a mother. I stayed in my parents house for like a year before I moved to my own and we all lived happily as one family infact my wife became more closer to my mum than me.

The ideal thing is what the lady wants. If there is separation of property, it is better. I mean that they can move to a property owned by the mother. Nine times out of ten, it is best to manage your small room than stay with your parents in their house.

Is My Sister Doing The Right Thing? Please Your Advice Is Needed

Advice needed
Don't mind my typo errors.

My sister cancel her wedding plans all because her husband to~be insists they are going to be living with his mum after the wedding before they will build their own house.

Now,my sister said she won't go on with the wedding plans if he didn't rent an appartment, even if it's face-me-i-slap-you room,she will be okay with it,she won't even mind if the mother come to spend days with them.

Is my sister doing the right thing?

She's right.

What you need to understand is that it’s not only Nigerians that was unable to do visa renewals some other nationalities was also faced with the same problem. The reason for all of that we do not know because it was not stated from a verified source. UAE only started issuing visas last month since the ban on visa issuance since March, so probably there will always be a lot of people since March up till now that wants to renew their visas and those that are applying for visa change.

Asides countries like Nigeria ,Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Bangladesh. Other countries we're and are successfully doing their visa renewals. It may only take time because of the rush. This is different from going to the same place with twice the money and being turned back once they hear Nigeria. Our government and embassy are doing nothing about it, our people somehow are arguing against it. Maybe because many Nigerians are of the wrong opinion that UAE needs Nigeria visa to survive and can't do without us or else their economy will collapse.

Did you marry because of the kids in the first place?


What if the pickin papa and mama don die for small him no go live him life?

Many threads and straws hold a marriage together. God, money, love, children, prestige, position, religion etc are part of what ties a marriage.

osadestiny:
Do you see the reason why some people weren’t able to renew their visas neither do a change of status? So it was not only Nigerians that was affected by this. They will resolve this soon since they have been given 1 month grace.

Brother that is not exactly true. The only people who were rushing to do their visas were other nationalities. Any Nigerian going to Amer Centre is turned back from reception with "NO visa renewal for Nigerians". Most serious agencies said same too. Visa renewal was being done in a rush for other nationalities though.

BiggyB242:
Some people think once you travel to America you will start picking dollars from the floor. Even Americans are loosing their(corporate) jobs. The difference between Nigeria and the US, there will be always a job for you but definitely it wouldn't be your desired job. The other day I saw a picture of Nigerian men roasting corn, something they can't do in Nigeria.

If Nigeria works normally, he would roast corn in Nigeria. What you should factor in is that that corn he is roasting as work in U.S. would come with opportunities of good and free education for his children, quality health care, water and fire services, a decent home, Internet and access to the latest technologies, and probably a chance of citizenship for him and his family. The man selling corn may actually be sending money to his whole village and have mansions in Nigeria built from his sale of roasted corn. Now compare that to the women who sell sweeter roasted corn in Nigeria.

NIGHTLIFE100:
sorry I’m not an agent and I also don’t go about asking people for their visa status or copy I can only state what I saw. Goodluck to everyone seeking visa renewal

Your sin is hereby forgived. Go and sin no more.

Jealousy. The jealous witches in Nigeria are very happy to hear this. That's all I see in the responses.
In normal places, even a foreigner running to your consulate or embassy, you will have some level of responsibility for them. But some Nigerians are in trouble due to the global pandemic situation and what Nigerians at home are saying is "who send you". Yet they are very religious people. Your actions are what witchcraft does. It is not until you fly at night. Some other countries are subsidising cost and even giving some free flights. Our own is doing business with its citizens. The one-way ticket for evacuation is almost double of a two way COMMERCIAL flights ticket. Nigeria is corrupt beyond redemption.

NIGHTLIFE100:
calm down mr Pakistani not every Nigerian is living like you. I actually saw a visa copy issued last week for a nigerian

Isn't God wonderful? You saw a visa copy issued LAST week. Are this week Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday part of last week? I think we are talking about the present not the past. Why didn't you show us pinchure of your last week visa by the way. You insisted that they are issuing visaS. Now you are giving this lame excuse that you saw ONE visa not visas. Always confirm information before labelling others unfairly and causing confusion.

Donbern:
Please kindly share a photo of visa change or any other visa been done for Nigerians inside uae of today ����

Lol, talk is cheap na. Maybe he's living in a bubble with Pakistanis.

Update. My source tells me it(visa change for Nigerians) would open tomorrow at price and security deposit totalling more than double the former price. Brace up folks, winter is coming.

Donbern:
Embassy

This is diplomacy at play. I think the issue in contention is about Nigerians IN UAE that can't RENEW their visas like other countries or cannot change from tourist to residents or employment visa simply because of their passport saying that they are Nigerians.
This letter address people IN Nigeria, not the thousands trapped currently in UAE who will face overstay fine and become illegal immigrants from 10th August. Immigration is not renewing visas for Nigerians at the moment.

Sorry to say, some here are outright ridiculous. The information Ope gave is not untrue. Many people have tried to renew their visas to no avail. I still spoke with two reliable visa persons today and they confirmed no visa renewals for Nigerians. Of course there can not be official statements to back these up due to diplomacy but hanging Mr Ope for trying to inform people on the latest happenings is not okay.
Good to hear one person got his employment visa. It's a good sign but it doesn't erase the fact that many travel agencies have been unable to renew Nigerian visas. They charge Nigerian visas highest so I'm sure they are not joking too.

Someone just liked this my post so I need to update it here and there for accuracy.

If you are in the country, you have one month to renew your document. Residents and GCC citizens who spent less than six months outside the country will also be given one month for renewal.

One month that expires on August 10. You need to be out of the country or renew your visa to avoid over 3000aed overstay fine and counting.

That reminds me. There's currently no renewal of visas for Nigerians. Make una come dey trek go house. Ile lo sure juu

glowingflame7:
The validity of visas and entry permits that was extended until the end of December this year has been cancelled. Identity cards that expired on March 1, which were previously considered valid until the end of the year, will now be deemed invalid.

If you are in the country, you have three months to renew your document. Residents and GCC citizens who spent less than six months outside the country will also be given one month for renewal.

Tourists on visit visas have about 13 more days to leave the country, renew their visas or face overstay fines counting from July 12. First day fine is 300aed, subsequent days are 100aed per day.

See the place like supermarket for Sharjah. Se escalator na airport?

Or you can go home and restrategize. Nothing wrong with traveling home. i don't know but someone said people are going home free, I can't confirm that though. I think it is difficult to get a job at this time. Maybe later sha.

This is a sackable statement. Reckless incompetence. Why not resign?

kwentoa23:
hello everyone...for those who applied for uae visa cancelled due to the pandemic.....was told they will be reapplying for another? pls how true is it...
thanks

Most likely. Eye dey red currently for government.

Good day to u all

Please I want to find out a few things about UAE.

1. Can I rent an apartment while am on 3 months tourist visa?

2. Can I send things down to Nigeria without having a license?
I heard license is needed to send things out of the UAE.
How true I this? @Justi4jesu am quoting you on this since you are into logistics.....but others can contribute as well.

It's quite expensive, but you'll need an Emirates ID anyway. All two questions can be done by proxy. That is by using or partnering with someone who is eligible.

seyisanya:
A Quick Question: Please, has the UAE resumed the issuance of tourist visa?

Thanks in anticipation.

Monday 7th

Stewart883:
Traveling to the UAE for now is very expensive. I would suggest those making plans to hold on till maybe September.

This are very wise words. It's not like jobs are available everywhere on the road. The ones inside are still trying to get themselves.

etrange:
Oga, she's right. In her position, you would know not to pick calls from strange numbers. She's a public figure with enemies, her words could easily be recorded and misconstrued for malicious reasons. No public figure, not even the Pope, would go picking calls from random numbers. A text message would have sufficed. Even if you were fighting with her husband, it's only fair at this time to show a little compassion to the family!

Exactly. If someone dies, they usually take phone from the immediate family members. It's not them that will be picking every call. But if a message came in from the state government then they call, that's clear. It's not just every harry is calling and claiming government.

ajbf:
Some people worked for state for 35 years, they have not collected their gratuities, ten years after retirement. Ajimobi has paid himself his retirement benefits twice.
This is just four days after the death if Ajimobi. The woman has just come into the state this morning and state deputy governor was there to commiserate.
It is not that it is two weeks he has died or one month ago

You don't defend a wrong with another wrong. The state government has no excuse. They did not contact the family on time. It should be same day. If he was buried same day, it should be a state burial and even people from other states will come.

ajbf:
Then it is just four days ago after Ajimobi was announced by his family to have died .
Moreso, the woman just came in into state this morning and the state deputy governor was there today as well.
So, I don't understand while she was furious if not for political gains.

She has a point. Her husband worked in the state for 8years. Whether good or bad. If you work in a place for 8years. If you die, courtesy demands that the company commiserate with the family. Not to mention a former state governor which the state government is treating as an afterthought. I don't like Ajimobi but what is not right is not right. Like the woman said, we are all going to die some day.

Stop beating about the bush.


Do you know the difference between migrants and tourists?

Tourists come to spend money in the country, the reverse is the case for migrants.

Now you're sounding like you're missing the point. My point is clear which you mentioned earlier. " 'Nigeria' do not constitute a greater proportion of the tourist ratings". Maybe you should carry out research on the meaning of "for instance". Anyway, you guys are free to believe what you want. All these rigmarole don't put or remove money from my pocket. Hold on tightly to your mindset, it doesn't promote or demote me. Peace
