Nigerians travelling to Qatar for the 2022 Fifa world cup, have been advised to comply with rules and regulations of the host country.
This was contained in a statement released by the spokesperson of the embassy, Kimiebi Ebienfa in Qatar made available to AIT.
“The Embassy wishes to strongly advise that Nigerian fans traveling for the soccer fiesta should endeavor to obey and respect the laws of the host country while in Qatar and ensure that they comply with all relevant guidelines/requirements for visiting fans before embarking on any trip.
Moreso, the Embassy wishes to state unequivocally that the special world cup visa called Hayya card and Entry Permit cannot and will not be changed or transferred to work visa or permit.
Nigerians should therefore not fall victim to unscrupulous elements spreading fake news in that regard to rip off innocent Nigerians.
On a final note, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria encourages all visiting Fans to enjoy the best experience at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup”.
