Additionally, he advised Nigerians who wanted more information on the revised requirements for UAE visas to go to documentverificationhub.ae.
After the limitations were lifted, several Nigerians responded negatively to the requirements for obtaining a visa to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Recall that on Monday, Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, disclosed that the Federal Government and the authorities in the United Arab Emirates had achieved a consensus that would remove the travel restrictions placed on Nigerians effective immediately.
The minister disclosed that bearers of Nigerian passports can now enter the UAE without any problems.
Additionally, he advised Nigerians who wanted more information on the revised requirements for UAE visas to go to documentverificationhub.ae.
A new requirement for obtaining a visa is securing a Document Verification Number (DVN).
According to the DV hub website, this specialized service is designed to authenticate and verify essential documentation for UAE visa applications.
The DVN costs a non-refundable ₦640,000, excluding VAT, per application. This fee does not cover the visa fee, which must be paid by credit card at the UAE visa centre in Abuja.
Additionally, Nigerians must provide proof of a six-month bank statement with a minimum balance of $10,000.
Applicants are also required to present round-trip flight tickets and proof of hotel booking
Nigerians have since reacted to the conditions with many in shock at the cost of obtaining a UAE visa.
