– Existing visas remain valid until their expiry dates.

– The US government cites reciprocity and security concerns as reasons for the change, aiming to align its visa policies with Nigeria’s treatment of US citizens.

UAE Visa Policy Changes

– Applicants aged 45 and above must provide a six-month personal bank statement showing a minimum monthly balance of $10,000.

– Transit visas are no longer available for Nigerians.

– The changes may affect Nigeria’s global image and impact travel, education, business, and international cooperation.

– Some analysts suggest that Nigeria should diversify its international partnerships and modernise its visa system to address these challenges.

What’s Next?

– The Nigerian government is engaging in diplomatic efforts to resolve the issues and protect the rights of its citizens abroad.

– Travellers and businesses should stay informed about the latest visa requirements and plan accordingly.

– It’s essential to consult official government sources for the most up-to-date information on visa policies and requirements.
