Qatar Refutes Claims of New Visa Restrictions on Nigerians
The Embassy of the State of Qatar in Nigeria has refuted viral online claims suggesting that stricter visa requirements had been imposed on Nigerian travelers.
Speaking to BBC Pidgin on Wednesday, September 10, a ministry official clarified that there are no new restrictions targeting Nigerians applying for visas to Qatar.
This comes after widespread reports alleged that Nigerians would now be subjected to additional conditions such as mandatory return transfer bookings, hotel reservations, and limitations restricting visa applications to only women or families. The reports also claimed that staying in a 5-star hotel was a compulsory requirement for approval.
The Qatari Embassy said these claims are false and urged the public to rely solely on information shared through its official communication channels for accurate travel guidelines.
