Reason Behind This Visa Ban

Dubai has ordered every travel agency to follow this statement. The exact reason behind this visa ban applied to 20 African countries is yet unknown. Some probe that it can be due to COVID-19 precautions. Others have the opinion that the action was taken in light to cancel out these residents taking advantage of overstaying using visit visas to Dubai.
