A passport of Niger needs a Dubai visa before the flight, because the UAE foreign ministry lists the Republic of Niger as visa required. We file it through a licensed Dubai company: the GDRFA fee is AED 210 for 30 days, single entry, with 48 hours listed for a complete file. This page is for Niger, not Nigeria.
Niger or Nigeria
The names look alike and the rules do not. A Nigerian passport has its own page, Dubai visa for Nigerians, with the work visa and police clearance points. Everything below is for the passport of the Republic of Niger.
Government fees
| Stay and entries | GDRFA fee |
|---|---|
| 30 days, one entry | AED 210 |
| 60 days, one entry | AED 315 |
| 30 days, multiple entries | AED 315 |
| 60 days, multiple entries | AED 525 |

What Dubai agencies charge
Dubai visa agencies publish about AED 340 to AED 800 for a 30-day single entry visa (published prices of 8 Dubai agencies, checked ). Ask each agent to separate the GDRFA fee from their own.
Who can sponsor you
- A tourism company, hotel or airline in the UAE, for a plain holiday.
- A spouse, parent or child living in the UAE: ICP asks AED 4,000 a month in salary.
- A sibling living in the UAE: AED 8,000 a month.
- A friend: AED 15,000 a month.
The sponsor of a visit visa also leaves a refundable guarantee of AED 1,000 for a single entry.
Documents
- Niger passport with at least 6 months left on arrival
- Colour scan of the photo page, no glare
- Passport photo, white background
- Return ticket and health insurance valid in the UAE
- For a family visit: the host's Emirates ID, residence visa and salary letter
Your embassy in Abu Dhabi
The UAE foreign ministry lists an Embassy of the Republic of Niger in Abu Dhabi, with HE Oumarou Moussa Almou named as ambassador. It is Niger's only mission listed for the UAE, so a citizen in Dubai travels to the capital for passport matters. The listing does not say what services it gives, and we give no phone or street address here. Check Niger's foreign ministry before you go.
Why requests fail
- A scan cropped at the corners
- Passport with under 6 months left
- Sponsor salary under the ICP tier for your relationship
- Return ticket missing
How it works with us
Share your passport copy and dates on WhatsApp or the form on this page. An adviser checks whether a tourist or a family visit visa fits you and gives one total price before payment. After your yes, our team files the request, answers any GDRFA or ICP question and sends the e-visa. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service, and the authorities decide.
Government fees stay with the authorities after a refusal. Before you pay, your adviser writes down what part of our total, if any, comes back.
