i'm not trying to counter ur explanation, but after the visa is stamped on the passport, there's an expiry date on the stamped visa; what that date means is u have to enter uae before that date and then ur 3 months starts counting immediately u enter uae.

Okay let me tackle this issue that is confusing all of you and for those giving out wrong information here.


Once your E-Visa is out and your agent sends it to you, then you have 45 days to visit the Abuja embassy for bio metrics/Payment and sticker, after that they give you appointment date for visa stamping/collection.

Because if you don't go to the embassy early, the visa might expire in your hands within those 45 days pending when you get an appointment at the Embassy.

After your visa sticker has been stamped on your passport, you have roughly 50-60 days validity to enter the U.A.E.

But I always advise travelers to leave within 1 month of receiving his/her visas from Abuja embassy.

Hope this helps.

Let me say this to clarify some issues regarding employment visa applicants on going to Abuja for biometrics and medicals.

The standard procedure for employment visa holders now is to go to UAE embassy in Abuja for Biometrics and medicals. However, UAE laws and procedures is not just static they are different according to the various sectors the company issuing the employment visa belongs.

Employment visas can be issued by individuals (for maids, helpers etc who must have fulfilled some eligibility criteria with the govt.), Private companies 'LLC', some Establishment 'Est' (majorly FMCG, groceries et al), Free zone companies ( government being part of shareholders, or wholly owned by govt.)

All these above mentioned entities belong to different sectors and have different quotas and procedures of operation outlined by UAE government. Hence I cannot talk explicitly or say a standard straightforward procedure about their employment visas issued.

Apt! it is advised one should take proper guidance from his/her agents or companies who issued any employment visa prior to coming to UAE.

The bolded Part is very very wrong.

The FREEZONE Companies are 100% owned by individuals (either Foreign or Local) Government has no business in FZE unless an extension of a Government Arm/Establishment.

And i can also confirm 100% that not all Employment Visas are to be taken to Abuja for processing. Kindly confirm from your Agent or Public Relations Officer.

In the case of 90 Days VISIT VISA as attached, its still based on SPECULATIONS about the 45 Days validity before Biometrics (Some agents/sponsors tend to cancel ones visa depending on the agreement or any dispute but i personally have seen someone done biometrics on the 50th day, PS: not all fingers are equal.). but it's better to go for it once you get your Visa Approval Page no need to wait.

Then u have 60 days (as shown in the attached) from the date of biometric to enter UAE don't wait for the 60th day to travel cos u might end up getting to UAE on the 61st day. and be turned back even if they had allowed u board the flight from Nigeria.

I was just reading the previous posts about visiting the embassy before 45 days. I was aware of this , my company notified me to do this since May 2018. I recently just started the process and will be doing biometrics tomorrow. From the image below, am I screwed? If yes, what should I do next?
