- Niger is one of those places that people commonly mistake with “Nigeria.” Niger is its own country with its own people and own rich culture. I’ll explain below the steps on how to get the visa below. Like most African countries, you will have to get the usual documents, fees, etc. The process is pretty straightforward, albeit time-consuming as you have to gather a good bit of required documents.
- Visa required for U.S. citizens: Yes.
- Visa required for non-U.S. citizens: Visas are required by EVERYONE EXCEPT people living in any of the ECOWAS countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo).
