UAE bans nationals of Ghana and 19 others from visiting Dubai.
According to DW Africa, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has placed a visa ban on citizens of 20 African nations wishing to travel to Dubai.
The ban takes immediate effect.
These nations are Senegal, Benin, Ivory Coast, Congo, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Comoros, Cameroon, Nigeria, Liberia, Burundi, Republic of Guinea, Gambia, Togo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Cameroon, and Uganda.
One of the justifications offered for the restriction, according to the German news source, is that many people who enter the nation on visit visas wind up overstaying their permits and working illegally while doing so.

The United Arab Emirates has ceased awarding tourist visas to anybody under the age of 40, with the exception of those who are applying for family visas, according to the Emirati. This comes just a month after Nigeria’s foreign ministry stated that Nigerians under the age of 40 will no longer be allowed visas to the United Arab Emirates.
It is not the first time that Ghana and other African nations have been prohibited from entering Dubai.
Due to the spread of the Omicron Covid-19 strain, Emirates Airline declared on December 28, 2021, that eight African nations would not be permitted to travel to or through Dubai until further notice.
These nations comprised Ghana, Angola, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Cote d’Ivoire, and Ethiopia.
