The agreement, while a significant step forward, includes new and stringent conditions for obtaining a UAE visa. One of the primary new requirements is the acquisition of a Document Verification Number (DVN), a specialized service designed to authenticate and verify documentation essential for visa applications to the UAE.
– **Cost**: The DVN costs a non-refundable ₦640,000 (excluding VAT) per application. – **Validity**: The issued DVN is valid for 14 days from issuance or until the visa application is processed by the visa application department, whichever comes first. – **Processing Time**: Travellers can expect to receive their DVN within five business days after successful payment.
