What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • Completed visa application form from the Niger embassy or consulate
  • Two recent passport-style photos
  • Proof of accommodation or an invitation letter from a host in Niger
  • Round-trip flight itinerary
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for entry into Niger)
  • Biometrics taken in person when submitting the application at the embassy

Visa types

  • Tourist visa - single entry, valid up to 30-90 days depending on the embassy's assessment, fee typically around USD 50-100
  • Business visa - requires an invitation from a Nigerien company or organization, similar processing time
  • Multiple-entry visa - available for frequent business or NGO travelers, higher fee set by the embassy

How to apply

  • Contact the Niger embassy to confirm the nearest representation, since Niger has no embassy in Cairo - applications are often processed through a regional mission or by mail
  • Submit the completed application form with all supporting documents, photos, and the yellow fever certificate
  • Pay the visa fee as instructed by the embassy (cash, bank transfer, or money order depending on location)
  • Processing typically takes 5-10 working days once the embassy receives the complete application
  • Collect the passport with the visa sticker in person or via courier

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 50-100 depending on visa type and duration requested
  • Courier fees may apply if applying through a non-local embassy by mail
  • Standard processing: 5-10 working days after document submission
  • No official express service - build in extra time if applying from outside the region

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Start the process at least a month ahead given the lack of a Nigerien embassy in Cairo
  • The yellow fever certificate is strictly checked on arrival - travelers without it can be denied entry or vaccinated on the spot at extra cost
  • Common rejection reasons: missing invitation letter for business visas or incomplete financial proof
  • Check current security advisories for Niger before finalizing travel plans, as some regions have travel restrictions
  • Extensions inside Niger are handled by the Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire in Niamey
