This decision is described as a significant milestone resulting from extensive discussions between the two nations, emphasizing their shared commitment to strengthening diplomatic ties, promoting cultural exchanges, and fostering opportunities for economic and social collaborations.

To streamline and enhance the visa application process, the UAE has introduced an upgraded document verification process. Starting from March 4, 2024, all Nigerian applicants are required to obtain a Document Verification Number through the dedicated online Document Verification Hub platform (https://documentverificationhub.com). UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, Saleem Saeed Al-Shamsi, highlighted the importance of this step, aiming to ensure the integrity of the application process and prompt processing for all applicants.

Following the acquisition of the Document Verification Number, applicants can proceed with their visa applications through designated travel agents, completing the process at the UAE Embassy in Abuja or Lagos.

The UAE underlines that this announcement reflects their continuous efforts to strengthen the robust ties between the two nations, contributing to the prosperity and well-being of both peoples.

This decision follows a visa ban imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting nationals from 20 African countries, including Nigeria. Tensions arose between Nigeria and the UAE over pandemic-related travel procedures, resulting in a diplomatic spat and the exit of Emirates from Nigeria. President Tinubu, upon assuming office, directed efforts to resolve the dispute and emphasized the need for both nations to address core aviation and immigration issues amicably, considering their familial relationship.
