No UAE Visa Ban on Sierra Leoneans
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Thursday 27 October, 2022 - The attention of the Sierra Leone Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been drawn to social media reports claiming that the UAE Government has issued a visa ban on Sierra Leoneans and several other African nationals. The Embassy wishes to state that it has NOT received any information on same from official sources in the UAE and therefore considers the said report being circulated as false and misleading.
Meanwhile, the UAE has recently introduced series of visa reforms, including but not limited to the reduction of the duration of tourist visas from three months to two months. Other new criteria for entry into the country can be found on the UAE Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security portal: www.icp.gov.ae
