Dubai eVisa for Nigerians — 2026 Complete Guide
What is the Dubai eVisa?
The Dubai eVisa — also called the Dubai Tourist Visa — is an official UAE travel authorisation issued electronically. No embassy visits are required. Once approved, the visa is sent to your email as a PDF. Print it and present it upon arrival at Dubai International Airport.
Nigerian passport holders must obtain a valid Dubai visa before travelling. There is no visa-on-arrival option for Nigerians. The Dubai Tourist eVisa allows tourism, family visits, and short business meetings — not employment.
