The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has denied any knowledge of conditions purportedly agreed upon with the Nigerian Federal Government regarding visa applications for Nigerians.
This clarification comes after a statement from Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, which announced lifting a three-year travel ban from the UAE. Many Nigerians were initially excited by this news on Monday.
According to reports, the resolution included mutually beneficial conditions, such as the requirement to obtain a Document Verification Number (DVN). The DV hub, which provides this service, is designed to authenticate and verify documentation necessary for visa applications to the UAE.
The DVN service costs a non-refundable ₦640,000 per application, excluding VAT, and this fee does not cover the visa application itself. Additionally, Nigerians seeking a UAE visa must present a six-month bank statement showing a minimum balance of $10,000.
In an interview with Cable News, the UAE’s Department of Economy and Tourism clarified that the DV hub website is not affiliated with the UAE government.
