Qatar speaks on visa restrictions on Nigerians

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Qatari Ministry of Interior has dismissed reports claiming that it imposed new visa restrictions on Nigerian passport holders. Reacting on Wednesday, September 10, a ministry official told the BBC Pidgin that there are no restrictions on Nigerians seeking to visit Qatar.

Social media reports had alleged that Qatari authorities introduced a travel ban preventing male applicants from entering the country unless they were travelling with their families. Legit.ng earlier reported that Qatar introduced new visa restrictions targeting Nigerian travellers, citing concerns over recent overstays.

The updated policy bars unaccompanied male applicants and limits eligibility to females and families only, with additional requirements of a five-star hotel booking and a return flight ticket before applying for a travel or transit visa. However, according to the BBC, Hayya, Qatar’s digital platform for e-visa services, clarified that the visa application process remains unchanged.
