Inclusion of skilled profession(s) in the
application form

Endeavour to include a skilled profession in
your visa application form to increase the likelihood of your visa being
granted. In the absence of a skilled profession, your experience in certain
career paths might suffice. The embassy, however, will be the judge of what
profession is acceptable to merit a visa.

Consent letter for single or married women
below 24 years
below 24 years
Dubai is an Islamic country, no doubt.
Consequently, women – either married or single – are not permitted – by religion
– to travel solo. This Islamic rule doesn’t place this restriction on women 24
years & above. To aid your chances of getting a visa if you are a woman
below age 24 and plan to travel solo, you need to submit a letter from your
spouse or family member – indicating that express approval has been given you to
travel solo – along with your visa application. The letter of approval would act
as a cover.

No records of past criminal or fraudulent
activities

Dubai is one of the strict countries that will
not allow people with criminal or fraudulent backgrounds to be admitted into the
country. You will be blacklisted immediately. So, when you eventually get a visa
to Dubai, endeavour not to engage in criminal activities so as not to forestall
your future chances of getting a visa.

Always cancel your resident visa
If you were a holder of Dubai resident visa but
left the country without cancelling it, you would not be able to apply for a new
visa. In this case, you have to ensure that your old resident visa is cancelled
before you apply for a new one.

Marriage counts…as long as there are
wedding pictures
wedding pictures
Dubai is one of the preferred honeymoon
destinations for many Nigerians. Therefore, if you choose to honeymoon in Dubai,
there are some documents you would be required to submit to obtain a visa. These
are a wedding picture (of you and your spouse), marriage certificate and no
objection certificate from your parents. If these are not submitted, your visa
may get rejected.
