Frequently Asked Questions
Dubai Visa FAQ for Nigerian Citizens
Real questions from Nigerian applicants, answered
There is no blanket ban, but Nigeria is heavily restricted. Processing resumed with tough conditions, so applications must meet the extra requirements to succeed. We confirm the current rules before you pay.
Solo applicants in this age band commonly face restrictions and may need to travel accompanied or provide added justification. We assess your case honestly before you apply.
Older or solo applicants are often asked for six months of personal bank statements with a high minimum balance, figures around USD 10,000 are commonly cited. Thresholds change, so we confirm what applies to you.
The 96-hour transit visa for Nigerians has been suspended in the recent tightening. For a stopover you would need a standard visa, subject to the current rules.
Avoid anyone promising 100% guaranteed or instant approval, or asking for cash with no receipt. Forged visas are flagged at Dubai immigration and can lead to entry denial and a one-year ban. Use a licensed service with a real address and a verification step.
Our service starts at $229 all in for the eVisa. If a refundable security deposit is required by immigration for your profile, we confirm the amount before charging.

You must leave the UAE before your permitted stay ends. Since February 2026 the grace period has been removed, and a fine of AED 50 per day accrues from the day after your stay expires, so Nigerian travellers from Nigeria should plan the departure date carefully.
