6 Steps To Get Dubai Visa In Nigeria

Dubai is an attractive city that is filled with wonderful things you can hardly see elsewhere. It has ancient and modern attractions ranging from the city’s iconic skyscrapers and high rise buildings, like the Burj Khalifa which is the tallest building in the world and the traditional souk markets located close to the creeks.

Dubai is one of 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates. It is quite easy to get a Dubai visa but everyone visiting should be perceptive to respect for the predominant religion there – Islam, and also to dress modestly at the malls, mosques and souqs.

If your children are inviting you all the necessary documents like the birth certificate, graduation letter or matriculation letters etc. from there school must be added.

You need to provide one colored Passport photograph with full name and passport number written on the back, and that has the specification of 4.3 cm x 5.5 cm and preferably on a white background.

You can apply for a Dubai visa through a travel agent, resident in the UAE, or Tour Company. However, applying through Emirates Airlines has a condition of booking a return ticket with the airline.
