Dubai Family Visa for Nigerian Citizens 2026

Apply for a Dubai family tourist visa from Nigeria with your spouse, children or other eligible family members. Choose a 14-day, 30-day or 60-day stay and submit every traveller through one coordinated application.

Family application route: DubaiVisa.com currently supports eligible Nigerian passport holders travelling as a family group. Individual Nigerian tourist applications are not accepted through this route. Every adult, child and infant still needs an individual application and visa approval.

Do Nigerian Families Need a Dubai Visa?

Yes. Nigeria is listed as visa required by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Every family member travelling on a Nigerian passport—including infants and children—needs the correct entry permission before departure.

Check the current nationality status through the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A family submission keeps the trip together, but each person is assessed as an individual applicant.

6

Review and Pay

Children need their own entry permission

Nigeria Child Visa and Parent Documents

A child cannot travel on a parent’s visa. The child needs an individual passport, application and approved entry visa. Add a clear birth certificate so the relationship is easy to confirm.

If only one parent is travelling, the reviewing team may request consent from the non-travelling parent and a copy of that parent’s identification. Where a parent and child use different surnames, upload the document that connects their names instead of waiting for a follow-up request.

Infants are also applicants. Prepare a passport and a recent photograph that meets the upload requirements before starting the family submission.

Dubai Family Visa FAQs for Nigerians

Can a Nigerian family apply together for Dubai visas?

Yes. Add the adults and children to the same family trip during the online process. Each traveller still receives an individual visa decision.

Is there one visa covering the whole Nigerian family?

No. Every adult, child and infant needs a separate application and approved entry visa. The applications can be prepared and submitted together as one organised family file.

What is a Nigeria group visa application?

It means several travellers are added to the same trip and handled together. It does not replace the individual passport, photograph, supporting documents or visa decision required for each family member.

How much is a Dubai family visa from Nigeria?

The displayed assisted-service prices are US$280 per applicant for the 14-day standard option and US$380 for 14-day express handling. The 30-day option is US$450 per adult and US$350 per child; the 60-day option is US$600 per adult and US$425 per child.

How fast is the Nigeria express visa option?

The 14-day express option is displayed with an estimated processing time of within 24 hours after a complete file is accepted. Extra document checks or immigration review can take longer.

Can one parent travel to Dubai with the children?

Yes, but consent from the other parent and additional relationship evidence may be requested. Carry the child’s birth certificate and the relevant consent documents for the journey.

Does payment guarantee family visa approval?

No. Payment covers the selected application service. The relevant UAE authority reviews each applicant and makes the final visa decision.
