Oyogist has learned that the United Arab Emirates has excluded Nigeria from its list of countries whose citizens are eligible to apply for visa-on-arrival in the UAE.
Etihad Airways had initially released a list of countries whose travellers landing at Abu Dhabi airport can receive visas from its immigration desks.
Countries such as the U.S., China, Maldives, France, and Russia top the list.
Several African countries like Seychelles and Mauritius are included, but Nigeria is excluded.
Also, visitors who had been in Nigeria or South Africa in the preceding 14 days before travel will not be allowed to enter the UAE.
The list came after the UAE entered into a visa-free agreement with Ghana.
