The United Arab Emirates has given a three-week warning to Nigerians with expired visas to leave the country.
The ultimatum expires on August 17, 2020.

A statement by the embassy said,
“The Embassy wishes to inform that the Government of the United Arab Emirates has granted waivers on fines/penalties on visas that expired before 1st March 2020 to leave the country by 17th of August 2020.

“Accordingly, affected Nigerian nationals willing to return home requested to submit their names and passport numbers to the embassy and or the consulate for onward transmission to the UAE authorities to get the clearance.”
