On Wednesday, August 18th, 2021, Etihad Airways released a list of countries eligible to obtain visa-on-arrival in the United Arab Emirates, UAE.
While Nigeria and South Africa were put aside in the list, UAE included African countries such as Seychelles and Mauritius, Anaedoonline.ng reports.
In an official statement made public today, UAE noted that visitors who had been in Nigeria or South Africa in the preceding 14 days before travel will not be allowed to enter the country.
The new development implies that only the enlisted countries whose travelers landing at Abu Dhabi airport can receive visas from its immigration desks.
Countries such as the U.S., China, Maldives, France, and Russia made the top of the list.
Recall that the UAE had earlier announced an indefinite suspension of flights from Nigeria to Dubai.
