Thursday, September 11, 2025 - The Embassy of the State of Qatar in Nigeria has dismissed reports circulating online that claimed new and stricter visa regulations had been introduced for Nigerian travelers.
A ministry official told the BBC Pidgin on Wednesday,
September 10 that there are no restrictions on Nigerians seeking to visit
Qatar.
The denial follows viral reports alleging that Nigerians
must now meet additional conditions before securing a visa, including mandatory
return transfer bookings, hotel reservations, and restrictions limiting
applications to only women or families. The report further suggested that
staying in a 5-star hotel was a new requirement for visa qualification.
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.
