The United Arab Emirates (UAE) says Nigeria has not been exempted from the customary visa application process.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Nigerians were thrilled to read that the three-year travel ban from the UAE had been lifted.<\/p>\n
But their joy evaporated when Mohammed Idris, minister of information and national orientation, said the resolution had conditions that were \u201cmutually beneficial\u201d.<\/p>\n
Part of the conditions include obtaining a document verification number (DVN).<\/p>\n
According to the DV hub, the process is a specialised service designed to authenticate and verify documentation essential for visa applications to the UAE.<\/p>\n
The DVN costs a non-refundable N640,000 excluding VAT for each application. This does not include the visa fee.<\/p>\n
In addition to obtaining a UAE visa, Nigerians are required to provide proof of a six-month bank statement with a minimum balance of $10,000.<\/p>\n
While some citizens described the conditions as an upheld \u2018constructive ban\u2019, others expressed doubt about the authenticity of the DVN.<\/p>\n
UAE DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF \u2018CONDITIONS\u2019<\/p>\n
TheCable contacted the UAE\u2019s department of economy and tourism to confirm if obtaining a DVN was part of the resolutions reached.<\/p>\n
The department said the DV hub website is not affiliated with the UAE government.<\/p>\n
Asked if Nigerians are required to make payments for documents\u2019 verification, TheCable was referred to Dubai\u2019s general directorate of residency and foreigners\u2019 affairs (GDRFAD).<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will need a personal photo and a copy of your passport which must not have less than six months validity,\u201d the GDRFAD said, while explaining the process for a visa application.<\/p>\n
A tourist visa costs about 200-300 dirhams (N60,000 \u2013 90,000) depending on the stay.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will also need a travel ticket and valid medical insurance within the UAE,\u201d the GDRFAD added.<\/p>\n
Asked about the need to have a bank balance of $10,000, the directorate said: \u201cWe are not aware of such requirements. Make your visa applications through the GDRFAD.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eche Abu-Obe, spokesperson for Nigeria\u2019s ministry of foreign affairs, told TheCable that clarification on the DVN would be sought and provided from the ministry\u2019s office in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
