Federal government has reacted to a video clip showing Nigerians that are denied entry to Dubai.
The government made the clarification following a viral
video showing stranded Nigerians at an airport in Dubai.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Francisca
Omayuli noted that those affected failed to abide by the visa condition.
A statement by the official informed the public that the UAE
now considers persons “applying for family visas.”
It said the Nigerians in the footage were issued family
visas, only to arrive in Dubai without any family members.
“They were denied entry and advised to return to their
country and apply for the appropriate visas.
“Persons allowed entry have their family members in the UAE,
while those who claimed their family members were on another flight were told
to wait at the airport.”
The government said with the new UAE visa regime, applicants
should indicate their visa preferences without ambiguity and obey the
immigration laws of other countries.
