Is anyone here or knows some that recently travelled to Nigeria from UAE? Are they still asking for permit to travel at the airport cos the nsdc page to get the permit hasn't been opening for days now.

no longer needed...

seyisanya:
How about Nigerian passport holders that live in diaspora? Thanks.

I need answer to this, the Dubai visa is very confusing for me. How do you apply for Dubai visiting visa if you live permanently abroad, like UK, US, Germany but you only have a Nigerian passport.

Okay. Thanks

The rule applies to all Nigerian passport holders, either you're living in Nigeria or not .

Is UAE visit visa available for 🇳🇬 now?

Unfortunately No. All the tourist agencies kept saying 🇳🇬 are getting rejected. Even Emirates don remove naija from the list of countries 🤦🏾

Thanks for this update

One of my neighbor travelled to UAE recently. I rushed to open this thread to check for updates on the visa ban on Nigerians.

I'll be forced to talk to her for updates

oh!!! This is a way of saying only the rich guys are allowed. Thanks for the info though

Not sure when you enquired, VFS has clearly stated that 🇳🇬 is suspended. It's also on their website.

Here's an email I received in response to my email about not being able to apply as a Nigerian after purchasing an Emirates ticket

Please how did you get an Emirates Ticket? They have stopped flights from Nigeria

Only residence visa. Anyone travelling to UAE is using a residence visa

Like the Green and Golden Visa?

Please do you know if the UAE embassy needs to attest the eligibility form? The Ministry of Foreign affairs has already attested it. Eligibility form was issued by the Ministry of Education.

Hello, was your employment visa APPL successful?

It is well with Nigeria.

Please can I still apply to UAE for master’s studies. If I’m accepted, will I be able to travel with a student visa?

What's the benefits of studying in UAE of all places?

Why UAE for master's degree? Ah

E shock u? E shock mii too

This is an ignorant utterance. There are American, British, Australian and Canadian universities in the UAE and you get a degree that is the exact same as if you had studied on their main campus. NYU and RIT are two of the US ones.

Even the UAE local universities are well-known and accepted in the Middle East.

The first sentence of your comment is uncalled for. Why apply to study at a branch campus when you could study at the main university in the domain country with work-study opportunities?

In fact, as I type, admission to European and Canadian universities is straightforward provided you have all the right documentation and initial funding, so why spend huge dollars to study at a branch campus in the UAE. Just so you know, branch campuses are like franchises.

As an average Nigerian looking for prospects in today's highly competitive global job market, please take your hard-earned dollars to the US, Europe, Australia, Canada to obtain your international degree. Leave branch campuses to the kids of the elites and politicians.

Regarding UAE local universities, please don't do it!

Many people have their reasons for studying at branch campuses. There are many people who go from USA, Canada to branch campuses because tuition is usually cheaper. Yes, for a Nigerian who is chasing residency in the West through a student visa, by all means stick to US and Canada schools. But if that doesn't work out, try other schools in places such as Singapore, China etc
For someone who needs a degree for promotion on the job and is not chasing relocation and work study opportunities and who would otherwise pay grad tuition anyways, going to NYU Abu Dhabi vs NYU NYC would be more cost effective because at the end of the day, he gets the same degree. Actually you'd be more competitive in the global job market with a degree from NYU AD than with a degree from a farflung corner university in the boonies of Australia or the UK.

My first sentence was because your dismissal of a masters in the UAE lacked nuance and can affect an uninformed person's decision-making. You might not believe me but I schooled in the US up to the doctorate level, I have worked internationally and at many stages I've had colleagues with a BS from Africa, MS from UAE or Oman or Qatar or Singapore or South Africa etc and sometimes an additional degree eg PhD from the US or Canada. They have good jobs and are valued for what they do and what they know.

My former dentist in DC went to dental school in the UAE and practices in the US. The sister of my US born realtor went to Pakistan for med sch and returned to the US to write her boards. Their parents migrated from PK. She did it to avoid student loans in the US. So yeah the world is far more connected than you think and if opportunities arise outside of the US/Canada, people should consider it.
